Looking for notable women from any religion. Preferably some less well known ones, not Mother Theresa, Joan of Arc, Hildegard of Bingen, etc.

How about Deborah, from the 4th chapter of Judges? She was a prophetess, military leader, and judge. In the same book is Jael, who wasn't a leader per se, but she did something pretty badass. There's more to the story than this, but basically she killed the General (I think) of an enemy army by driving a tent stake into his head while he was sleeping.
Talk about strong women.... :-)
