My personal opinion is that it’s rude to single out composers for their biology. Let’s keep it about the music, yeah? I would say these next two are part of the greats, not just standing with them:

Hildur Guðnadóttir for the amazing scores on Chernobyl and Joker Mica Levi (non-binary) for Under the Skin and Jackie

There are plenty. Sure, the canon is full of males, but that's just a function of the canon itself.

Is it a fault if they are actively seeking your help to correct it?

I gave my answer and they said “no woman comes to mind”, not “I know some great composers who are women and would like to learn about others”
