Elastica were the only good band mentioned so far. Most of the best female fronted or all female bands in the 90s were yanks.

I confess to being a fan of Theaudience back in the day. Ahem.... What about The Breeders tho? They were alright, in a not-as-good-as-the-pixies-or-throwing-muses kind of way.

Curve -- never as feted as My Bloody Valentine, but very good nonetheless.

Fuck, how could I have forgotten Mazzy Star - I still listen to them all the time although I kinda assumed that they were done and dusted by the 90's, but the Breeders... good call indeed. I used to have such a crush on Kim Deal 
.
all the best.

If Sonic Youth counts so would Nina Hagen both have been going since the 70's but did some great stuff in the 80's
