I love rock bands with women on the vocals. I like Dead Sara, The Pretty Reckless, Halestorm, The Beaches, The Warning, In This Moment, Metric, The Interrupters, Larkin Poe. Lots more but that's a good sample.
What other bands/artists might I like?
Edit: thank you everyone for the recommendations! I have so much new stuff to listen to!
I've seen Epica live, unfortunately whoever was on sound that day really fucked it up.
I've seen Arch Enemy too, with good sound, but I would trade that experience to see Lacuna Coil.. I know they are popular but I still feel like they are massively underappreciated.
Well, you're in luck because we are living in basically the platinum age of women fronting cool rock bands.
Just off the top of my head:
Bones UK, Sniffany and the Nits, Cable Ties, Amyl and the Sniffers, Mod Con, Waax, Gutter Girls, Flagipanis, Panic Shack, Tiger Pussy, The Hellfreaks, The Darts, The Creepshow, The Spookshow, Zombina and the Skeletones, Bat Fangs, La Butcherettes, The Death Valley Girls, Sleater Kinney, The Veleteers, The Julie Ruin, The Bobby Lees, The Coathangers, The Regrettes, The Pink Slips, The Blushes, Bratmobile, LA Machina, Scrunchies, Skating Polly, and The Nova Twins.
I could dig up more if I start scrolling through my playlists, but there are tons of women out there right now making great music. Seems like every time I turn around there's some cool new thing.
I'll go a bit more into my niche. Might not be what you're looking for but it's all female or female fronted rock in a broader sense.
Genres here are Stoner, Doom and Death metal.
Halocene, she does a bunch of covers of old rock songs from around the early 2000s. It's like fresh nostalgia straight into my ears. Her original stuff is also pretty good :)

You might like some of the output of Elysian Fields (Jennifer Charles, Oren Bloedow). Maybe in particular their earlier stuff, like their Bleed Your Cedar (1996) album:
