A lot of my favorite composers are female. Leading the field is of course Yoko Shimomura, but I'm also very fond of Michiko Naruke, Yoko Kanno, Yuki Kajiura, Riei Saito (even though she has essentially only one entry here), Akiko Shikata, Azusa Chiba and Haruka Shimotsuki.
No particular order in the above listing. Thinking about it, I might want to add Manami Kiyota since a substantial amount of music for Xenoblade came from her.
