Good Female led rock bands?

I some bands that have a female singer...they don't have to be Christian, but it would be nice. I don't want anything with questionable lyrics...I'm singing in a band and I need some good covers to do.

I already know about Paramore, Flyleaf, Fireflight, Barlowgirl, Krystal Meyers, and Evanescence. Can you help me?

Update:

btw...I'd rather have more recent stuff. I don't do classic rock :)

Update 2:

I also forgot to say that, as much as I'd like to, I can't scream, so I can't do hardcore stuff. Thanks!!

    In This Moment have a female singer called Maria Brink who does scream a bit but their second album is a lot more singing.

    Nightwish had a singer called Tarja Turunen whose voice is very operatic but she has now been replaced by a lady called Annette Olsen whoe voice is a lot more rock.

    Arch Enemy, Light This City (my favorite). Walls of Jericho. Nightwish.

    Upon first listen you might think there questionable lyrics but if you find what they are actually saying you'll find that they're really good lyrics about everyday stuff.
