32. Lady Snowblood
Surviving the murder of her family, and her subsequent rape and torture by the culprits, Sayo Kashima is sentenced to life in prison after murdering one in retaliation. While in prison, she intentionally allows herself to become pregnant thus birthing (as well as dying in the process) Yuki Kashima or Shurayuki-hime aka Lady Snowblood - a "child of vengeance". Trained by an assassin in her early years, before eventually growing into womanhood and accepting the role her mother vowed for her.

#32 Miss Marple
Miss Jane Marple doesn't look like your average detective. Quite frankly, she doesn't look like a detective at all. But fans of Agatha Christie’s novels know only too well that looks can be deceiving, for the mild-mannered spinster sleuth is as adept at solving murders that baffle Scotland Yard as she is at unravelling village secrets.
In appearance, Miss Marple is a tall, thin woman with a pink, wrinkled face, pale blue eyes and snowy white hair which she wears piled upon her head in an old-fashioned manner. Her innocuous appearance, meandering conversation and ever-present knitting needles often mislead people into underestimating her as simply a "dithering old maid." Those who really know her recognize that she is a sharp observer of human nature with "an uncanny knack of being always right."
Despite a lifetime spent in peaceful St. Mary Mead, Miss Marple 's attitude is surprisingly worldly and she seems familiar with all the seven deadly sins. As she often points out, village life provides countless opportunities to observe every evil trait in human nature. Drawing parallels between the everyday mysteries that puzzle her neighbours, and cases of national importance, Miss Marple's logical mind pieces together the clues with unnerving accuracy.

35. Sil (Species)
Species begins with the premise that the information contained in Human DNA is packagable in a few kilobytes, transmittable as a radio signal, and "reprogrammable" by an alien civilisation. The DNA sent by alien civilization in a transmission is injected into an egg which develops into a 12 year old girl before the project director, Xavier Fitch (Ben Kingsley), decides to terminate the project.
However, the girl, codenamed SIL, endowed with superior strength, manages to escape from confinement and head out in a train to L.A. After spending a brief period in a cocoon, she emerges all adult and sexy, having consumed the train conductor for breakfast. But underneath her good looks lies a predatory monster. Its only goal is to go through her life cycle, without hindrance from humans. This, the screenwriters decided, would involve finding a mate by scouring all the bars in downtown L.A. to have a baby with.

Well, not really a woman, but I think "she" fits this showdown.
36. T-X (Terminator 3)
The T-X, in the female appearance it assumes throughout most of the film, was an extremely advanced robot composed of a mimetic polyalloy endo-skeleton with liquid metal exterior and highly superior to the basic T-800 - 850 series robotic Terminator model.
Its official SkyNet classification is T-X Enhanced Logic Weapons Systems Cybernetic Warrior/Infiltrator Unit. T-X's utilization of nanotechnology gave it advanced regeneration and limited shapeshifting abilities through body contact, much like its precursor, the entirely liquid metal T-1000, which appeared in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
The T-X's prime directive is to assassinate by any means possible John Connor and his wife Kate Brewster, by being sent back in time from SkyNet, and thus prevent them from saving what is left of humanity in the postapocalyptic machine controlled future.
