Artemisia Gentilleschi's self portrait with lute - her dates are 1593-1652
Judith Leyster aged 21 or so - this "impertinent" painting made her famous; after her marriage three years later, in 1636, she hardly painted any more -
Clara Peeters painted mostly still life -
By the way, if you like reading novels about artists, have a look here for some suggestions.

Last week I saw a sad but rivetting DVD (2009) 'Seraphine', about a little known female painter, 18?? -1942. She worked as a maid for a German art dealer escaping the nazis in France and was thus 'discovered'. You can 'wiki' her - Seraphine Louis
