Fiona Apple, Lacuna Coil, and Heart are all good.
I really like Mother Mother by Tracy Bonham. Heartbreaker by Pat Benetar is a classic and a must have.
With a few exceptions, a timely reminder of why girls and rock tend not to mix. One of which being Portishead, who aren't rock anyway.

Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins) is probably my favorite female vocalist ever. She sounds like a fairy or pixie or something she's incredible.
The lack of a comma made it seem like you genuinely got excited as you were typing that.
My favourites are Joanna Newsom, PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, and Martina Topley-Bird.
Only PJ is really rock, though.
Try Skillet . . . the backing vocals is Korey Cooper. IMO, she has one of the best female vocalists I've heard lately.
