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!
