I agree with most of the answers already given, except (probably controvesially) Eve as I beleive you mean in the factual sense rather than the biblical. Joan of Arc I would have to disagree with though as she is relatively late in history(1412-1431).
It would be difficult to put your finger on the VERY FIRST woman to be written about but heres a couple from British history that spring to mind.
1. Boudicca (latin; Boadicea) leader of the Iceni tribe of Celts in ancient Britain- led a revolt against the Romans c.AD60
2. Cartimandua, ruled the Brigantes tribe of northern Britain (now northern England) c.AD49-63
If in doubt theres always Wilma Flintstone I suppose LOL.

If you buy into creationism it's Eve. I don't happen to be a believer.

Since writing has been first invented by Sumerians, the answer probably lies somewhere in the Sumerian history.
This said, your question is ambiguous. Are we talking about women that actually existed or do we include mythological figures as well? If the former, that would be one of Sumerian queens. If the latter, most likely, that would be Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of love, fertility, and war, also known by her Akkadian name, Ishtar.

Eve Nefertiti, Lilith, it kind of depends on which history you're talking about.
