If you wanna take a trip back in time, you could do worse than check out some proper 'old-school' girl groups.
I'm talking about The Dixie-Cups, The Cookies, The Chordettes and others of that era.
That aside, explore the Gospel canon. Very inspiring.Posted 2 years ago # -
There's been a number mentioned who I would +1:
Gemma Hayes, The Indigo Girls, Goldfrapp, Laura Marling among them, to which I'd add
The Wailin' Jennies, Canadian four-part harmonies to break your heart, (and lovely ladies as well),
Jesca Hoop, Eddi Reader, Julie Fowlis, Emmylou Harris, Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, Kris Delmhorst.
Kris has the most wonderful, warm, contralto voice that just wraps itself around you, and she's a fantastic songwriter as well, check out 'You're No Train', 'Free Diver' and 'Lullabye 101'.
Oh, and she's a lovely girl in person, too. Shawn and Emmylou and Patty are stunning singers, and tour together as well, at times. Then there's Beth Neilsen Chapman and Mary Chapin Carpenter as well.Posted 2 years ago # -
Not sure she satisfies any of your criteria (apart from being female) but she has a magnificent voice.
Mariza is a Fado singer from Portugal. I saw her on Jools ages ago and was hooked.
10,000 maniacs is another consideration - Natalie Merchant has a great voice. The MTV unplugged album is lovely.

natalie merchant is good, either with 10, maniacs or solo
beth gibbons [ ex of portishead ] is worth a listen or two
or if you want to go the other end of the spectrum and listen to a raunchy female vocalist try toni childs. she can sing a house down.
