All 11 of Dorothy Arzner's films from Anybody's Woman (1930) to First Comes Courage (1943)

Desert Hearts, directed by Donna Deitch

Mädchen in Uniform (1931), directed by Leontine Sagan.

Actually, many of the better known lesbian-themed indie films of the last 10 years were directed by women.

Never Fear, Outrage, The Bigamist, directed by Ida Lupino

Washington Square, The Secret Garden, directed by Agnieska Holland

Cléo de 5 à 7, directed by
Agnès Varda

I'll check back later, if necessary.

Oooops. Isn't MY face red. Wasn't Penny Marshall involved somehow, or did I just put her with a movie she had no link to what-so-ever? Oh well, the director is still a woman, right?
