Female score composers

Ladies of this forum, I need your help! ;)
I was trying to make a list of all the female score composers I have ever heard of, and realized that there aren't so many as their male counterparts. Whilst we can count countless (forgive my play-upon-words) men who are in the film music composing art, women are a very rare element in it.
As far as I have been able to remember, there are these ones:
- Shirley Walker
- Jocelyn Pook
- Anne Dudley
- Laura Karpman
- Jane Antonia Cornish
- Axelle Renoir
- Eleni Karaindrou
- Rachel Portman
- Debbie Wiseman
- Béatrice Thiriet
- Elizabeth Lutyen
- Jennie Muskett
- Deborah Lurie
- Abigail Mead (whose real name is Vivian Kubrick, director Stanley Kubrick's daughter)

Can anybody remember some more?

Hi Violinschlüssel,

Thanx for putting together that list. My guesstimate is that over time there will be more of a parity between the ratio of male/female composers.

Cheers,
