Stumbled upon an interesting list here at Venus Online. Many of my favorite female guitarists are present and accounted for (Joni Mitchell, Ani DiFranco, Carrie Brownstein) and there's a number that I haven't listened to very much or at all so I'm glad the article is out there. But, to throw in a few more recommendations of my own:
Emily Remler - I assume this was an oversight as she shows up in national guitar publications all the time as someone who would have been a major voice had she lived longer
Rebecca Gates - from the Spinanes. RG is kind of under the radar but definitely one of the players who has influenced me the most, and I can often trace things I've written back to sounds on her first record.
Leni Stern - Another staple to be featured in guitar magazines every time a new record comes out - and the new African-inspired one is especially hip. I had the pleasure of playing a show with Patty Stirling at Border's several years ago and I was thrilled/humbled (probably to the point that it affected my playing) that Leni was part of the same songwriting competition and had a featured set that night as well.
