One must not forget
Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat, Kill! Kill!

Another beautiful trash movie: Dirty Weekend (Michael Winner, UK)

Also: Single White Female, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Sister my Sister
(UK)

In early cinema women are not really violent in the strict sense of the
word, but you often find them beating up men, or each other.
