Gotta love female singer-songwriters, Kate Bush, Bjork and Joanna Newsom all have garned tons of listening time from me. 

The Thinking Plague women (Sharon Bradford, Susanne Lewis, Deborah Perry, and Elaine Di Falco) are all also fantastic. Imagine if they had all been in the band at the same time; I feel some interesting things could have happened. Also from the ZART world, Dagmar Krause, Stella Vander, et al are also wonderful.

Susanne Sundfor, Charlotte Church, Bat For Lashes, etc...

Gotta love Satomi from Deerhoof and Kazu from Blonde Redhead, Eleanor Friedberger of The Fiery Furnaces, and the ladies of Dirty Projectors.

Phideaux's band has some great female vocalists. Gotta give credit to Dominique from Stolen Babies for making harsh vocals sexy.

The list goes on so I'll just stop here. I do have a preference for female vocals over male vocals so I could go on and on.

I'd like to mention another special lady with angelic vocals from a band really worth checking: Shanti Curran from Arborea.

Sample:

 
Arborea are a wonderful band indeed - I'm not so sure that they would get cleared on the site for addition in Prog Folk (maybe worth a shot anyway?) but for anyone passing through here who does like women - just head on over to http://arborea.bandcamp.com/, where you will find all the releases of this artist gathered together for your listening pleasure (and/or purchase).

Few very important female singers are missing here :
 
Crystal voice - Amanda Parsons, Barbara Gaskin and Grace Slick (If I had to pick 1 it would be BG).
Breaking glass voice - Boby Watson, Dagmar Krauze and Renate Knaup (very close match between Renate and Dagmar. I think Renate wins).
Unique voice - Kate Bush

Yes, for seeing her live, I second the Emmylou recommendation.

All the usual suspects have been cited. Now for the ones that deserve some more attention :

Polish vocalist Agnieszka Dudek (Turquoise, Ankh) has also a lovely voice :



Ukrainian vocalist, Roksana Vikaluk (who is somewhat prog-related, at least in some prog rock websites) can be recommended as well :



Spanish vocalist Patricia Tapia (of AOR band Nexx) is also incredible :


Tracey Blue of the AOR band Life On Mars should not b overlooked (listen to the song "nancy dear") :

Beatriz Pichi Malen of the mapuche tribe :

Thank you for the kind words Ronnie/Max/Jeffrey/Tom. :P
And thank you for the sample, Matt!
Besides possessing an amazing voice, Shanti is not a bad banjo player either. Again, highly recommended.
