Two great current female lamas I know are Lama Tsultrim Allione and
Tenzin Palmo.
Tsultrim's classic Women of Wisdom is one of the most profound
collection of spiritual biographies I've ever read. She runs a retreat
center in the SW US called Tara Mandala.
Tenzin Palmo's biography, Cave in the Snow, is another classic.

One of the biographies from Women of Wisdom, and one of my Grand-
gurus, can be found here:

Another excellent lineage biography of a lineage of female yoginis and
lamas is the Mother Essence lineage, which was largely a family
lineage, outside the monastic establishment, descended from the great
yogini, Yeshe Tsogyal:

One of the greatest lamas in the west, who has appeared on TV specials
here in the US, is Ani Pema Chödrön. Her audio series on meditation is
the best I've heard.
