From the Rolling Stone Magazine Bible of the top 100 guitarists of all time:

72. Joni Mitchell

87. Joan Jett

I find praise for the following female guitarists of varied genres.

ipf - Says in her life Ida Presti ranked among the celebrated classical guitarists.


Rare Classical Guitar Video: Ida Presti - HVL Prelude No.1 - YouTube

Memphis Minnie was one of the few big female blues guitarists back in the day. Here's one of the best rated videos of hers I find.


Memphis Minnie - Hoodoo Lady Blues - YouTube

Okay she's a bass player, but Carol Kaye was on Venus Zine's list of great female guitarists and did work for Ritchie Valens, the Beach Boys, etc.
