Agnès Varda, Julie Taymor, Julie Dash, Leni Riefenstahl, Maya Deren, Antonia
Bird, Diane Kurys, and Vicky Jenson come to mind.  Probably the most
successful woman director by Hollywood's terms would be Penny Marshall, but
her films aren't particularly interesting or noteworthy other than as box
office hits.
