I was waiting for someone to drop some Kate B up in here 

 polystyrene

A personal favorite.

Lots of men in these bands, but focusing on at least female leads. 

are there any women out there doing bebop or free jazz?

anyway:

lot of nice things to dig up there !

a bit more contribution :

Some free jazz/free improv women, as requested. Most of these have said woman playing with other people.

Nicole Rampersaud is a great trumpet player more people should know

Susie Ibarra is a great drummer/percussionist

Germaine Liu is a drummer/percussionist who should be more widely appreciated; she composes and plays composed pieces, too. She and Bea who appears below also appear on a newly recorded album of William Parker's

Karen Borca is a great jazz bassoonist who got her start playing with the likes of Cecil Taylor and then played a bunch with Jimmy Lyons

Kayla Milmine is a super talented saxophone player more people should know

Joelle Leandre is a French bassist/cellist/vocalist

Andrea Neumann and Bonnie Jones both do improvised electronics as well as some other things

Christine Abdelnour is a saxophonist and Magda Mayas is a piano player

Liz Allbee plays trumpet

Karen Ng is a saxophonist/clarinetist who should have more recognition

You call it overkill, I call it an excited response from a woman who is a big fan of free jazz (me) offering recommendations of some of her favourite musicians and taking the chance to boost the profile of some local talent. Patriarchy is still a problem. If you care about women musicians only during International Women's Day/Month, I don't know what to tell you.

Some other women who I dig a bunch who I haven't heard mentioned in here yet include:

Mor Elian

Roza Terenzi

DJ Haram

Tygapaw

D Tiffany

Or:la

Mama Snake

Akilah Bryant

Suzi Analogue

Valesuchi

Dr. Rubinstein & Rachel Noon
