Nicole seeks a soprano aria with either text or music written by a woman:

In addition to what you've already seen, you might also investigate the
operas of Libby Larsen, Judith Weir, Ethel Smyth, Poldowski, or Liza
Lehmann. Meredith Monk has some stage works out there, too -- her work is
fairly "alternative" so I make no claims about excerptability or notation!

Some possible resources for would be Sophie Fuller's book, "The Pandora
Guide to Women Composers" and the IAWM web site
http://music.acu.edu/www/iawm/home.html.

I would be very interested in knowing what else you come up with!
