and design. I already have the following (and need 6 additional ones):

Here are four off the top of my head.

Varvara Stepanova: Russian textile designer and constructivist
following the Russian Revolution. She was married to the Russian
artist Alexsandr Rodchenko.  Sadly, most information about her seems
to be included as side notes to information on Rodchenko, though it's
easy to find images of some of her works.

Camille Claudel, French sculptor associated with Rodin.

Barbara Kruger.

And of course, Georgia O'Keeffe.
