Some of my all-time favorite extreme metal vocals of any gender.

It's weird with me, as I've always felt that female vocals didn't work within a metallic-based structure as well; they've always come across as cheesy or less legit for whatever reason. That's a conclusion without a preset bias. In contrast, I listen to female vocals more often than not, and prefer them more often than not, in electronic music. Don't get me wrong, I do like some Evanescence, and Flyleaf is a personal favorite among female-led rock/metal acts. Not worried about the religious angle. I don't necessarily need to have clean vocals, per say, but I do need them to be mostly audible. Say, something like 75% clean and 25% screaming/growling, etc.
And now to check up on the aforementioned, since it's been a few.
