Ladies in Guitar.
As i was going through this great list of most influential guitar players, i don't think i came across any female artists, so i think it's long overdue to start a thread about ladies playing guitar 
i'll start off by posting a couple of my favourite ones and it would really be great if people joined in.
Here's St Vincent:
and Mary Halovrson

Warpaint is an all-female band. They played at Coachella this year:
ps: Alex, i really loved ST Vincent, thanks
I forgot to add a couple. Here´s Kaki King, she can do some mind-boggling percussive acoustic playing where she slaps and pops the entire guitar. Nowadays she plays other instruments as well. This piece is more traditional:
And of course I need to bring up Erja Lyytinen from Finland who can play some mean slide guitar:
Also, though her last couple have moved a bit away from guitar, Polly Jean Harvey is phenomenal, especially with John Parish and Jeremy Hogg playing slide...
Joan Baez – Personally, I’ve always considered her more of an activist than a musician. Although I have great respect for her talent, particularly as an excellent finger picker, her voice drives me bats! Too much vibrato. If she were a man Dylan would have felt really threatened by her, as he seemed to be by Donovan.
Bonnie Raitt – With her sublime slide guitar and deeply soulful voice, she carries the torch for American blues. Also she was the first woman to be honored with a Fender Stratocaster signature model.
Emmylou Harris – Although eclipsed by her otherworldly voice (that should be categorized as its own musical instrument), she’s held down the groove with some of the finest: James Burton, Albert Lee, Buddy Miller, et al. She is a past president of the Country Music Association. Gibson makes an Emmylou Harris signature model and she has been honored with their ‘Best Player’ award several times. She also plays a mean telecaster.
Tracy Chapman – Cool tempos, great riffage and an uncompromising attitude. She’s wonderful.
JONI MITCHELL – It’s not really fair to mention her, as she was (the only woman) on Rolling Stones’ list but here are three videos that represent the arc of a great artist’s life.
Ingenue Joan Anderson, 1965. Not her own tune but what a performance. (The bass bugs me, though.) At around 50 seconds, check out the eyebrows of the man behind her after she sings, “It being summer, ‘took off my shirt”. Hah hah! Mesmerizing.
With Jim Henson’s puppets, 1989
From ‘Painting With Words and Music’, 1998. (What a band!)
muriel anderson plays really well, and she uses harp guitar sometimes which is always interesting.
leona boyd plays classical. there is a great video online of her playing with chet atkins and lenny breau, def. worth investigating.
All the musicians in the band are female. Lots of guitars drenched in tremolo and spring reverb!
Love the Jazzmaster, although I am saving up for a Johnny Marr Jaguar.
