Katherine Bushnell, Catherine Clark Kroeger, and of course the many women in the Bible:

Miriam (sister of Moses, see also Exodus 15, Micah 6:4), a leader of Israel alongside Moses, worship leader

Deborah (Judges 4-5), prophet and judge of Israel exercising complete religious, judicial, and military authority

Jael (same passage), fearless slayer of a enemy king

Huldah (2 Kings 22:14, 2 Chron. 34:22), chosen prophet to King Josiah, in spite of living contemporaneously with prominent male prophets such as Jeremiah; her husband was in charge of the king's wardrobe :-)

Junia (Rom. 16:7), "outstanding among the apostles"

Phoebe (Rom. 16:1-2), "a deacon in the church at Cenchrae... a benefactor of many, including me [Paul]"

Priscilla (Acts), who co-taught Apollos and others, ran a business, and likely wrote the letter to the Hebrews

Also Esther, Ruth, Rebecca, Noadiah, Anna, Rachel, Hannah, Abigail, Philip's four daughter prophets, Lydia, Elisabeth, and Mary (sister of Lazarus) who sat at Jesus' feet as any rabbinical student, also Mary Magdalene who anointed Jesus for his impending death and burial), and the hypothetical woman of Proverbs 31 who was a business woman with employees and cited for her wisdom

And who can forget Eve, "the mother of all living", through whose "seed" the Messiah would come, born without the involvement of any man? Or Mary, the woman through whom this prophecy was fulfilled?
