Some quick resources:

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/7282/women.html#lists
http://music.acu.edu/www/iawm/home.html
http://www.stkate.edu/library/guides/womenmus/index.html
http://php.indiana.edu/~daksmith/gender.html
http://www.music.indiana.edu/music_resources/women.html

There is some cross-referenced duplication here, but I hope these are
helpful to you.
