Tori Amos
Carole King
Sarah Bareilles
Joni Mitchell. Laura Nyro and Carole King are up there, but they were inconsistent, especially the latter, who went through some bad songwriting partnerships. Joni was the only one who could do next-level shit on a regular basis.
Rickie Lee Jones was sometimes great. Patti Smith is really bright but the music she made was often all too rudimentary and unimaginative musically (e.g. reusing the "Because the Night" music for "Frederick," which wasn't even hers to begin with). It was always too obvious that she was a writer and not a musician.
Madonna did some great music, but the credit doesn't all go to her.
Why are women so good at folk, bros?

You already posted the best. Fiona Apple is good too, surprised she hasn't been posted yet.
Bjork
Gemma Hayes is worth checking out.

Chelsea Wolfe
>>60597699
She's better at creating lyrics that give out a vibe of a situation more then giving it huge amount of depth. though she does have some coolass lyrics on homogenic, especially on Bachelorette.

Oh and Linda Perhacs, Don & Stevie, and Karen Dalton.

Patti Smith's best material came after the Horses album, her lyrics were never as good though.
>>60600121
Björk is an emotional artist. That's what she's going for. Intellectual depth isn't a necessary requirement for being a great lyricist.
Taylor, if her content were deeper than just 'muh boys'
>>60595632
Elizabeth Cotten obviously

OP said best, not most overhyped. Joanna makes tacky gimmick music in the vein of garbage like Emily Autumn and Amanda Palmer. Pitchfork just got paid off to tell you she's good, and you fell for it. Pic related is the only good thing she's ever been involved in.

here's your reply you meme

Because they play and write from their heart rather than their ego and penis.
