| Well, without knowing more, I can only suggest a few more prominent solo artists to check out. One of the problems is that many female rappers started off as part of groups, guesting on other people's tracks, lyrically focus primarily on sex & relationships, and so forth. IOW, its sometimes hard to find something where the ladies carry the weight of aggression.
Without further ado:
1) Lady of Rage. A hit & miss early gangsta rapper.
2) Rah Digga. A newer gangsta rapper.
3) Queen Latifah. The trailblazer, her stuff is predominantly about respect and equality, but it almost universally has weight.
4) MC Lyte (esp. earlier stuff), like the Queen, an early pioneer, but with a rougher edge.
5) Missy Elliott. Her stuff is all over the place, some is hard, some is smooth.
6) Salt n Pepa- this duo has a variety of stuff.
7) TLC- like Salt n Pepa, this trio has a wide variety of songs.
8) Eve- hangs out with DMX, the Ruff Ryders, Missy Elliott and the like- some of her stuff is pretty hard.
