Diane Warren

This came to mind for me. She doesn't perform her songs (I don't think) and yet she has a ton of hits.

I'm not really too conscious of female songwriters that I really like. Which is a bit odd, because I generally love female vocalists.

Joni Mitchell usually shows up near the top of this list. Carly Simon certainly deserves to be on the list somewhere.

Must be the correct answer. Only other one I can think of is Cynthia Weill.

Actually I can't believe how few of my favorite albums are by female artists.

I kind of like some stuff by Pj Harvey. Same goes for Cat Power/Chan Marshall. I hate Björk. Madonna is ok at times. So is Joni Mitchell. Tracy Chapman's debut was great but that was it for her.
Gillian Welch is someone who is definitely a personal favorite of mine.
Joanna Newsom who so many adore at the moment, should be shot.
