If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Jill Santoriello - Book, Music, Lyrics of A Tale of Two Cities (underrated musical)
I'm actually kind of surprised at the low number of women composing or lyricist. The new musical "It Should've Been You" has a female composer as well.
I am a lyricist- though my work hasn't yet been performed professionally because I'm still looking for a composer to work with. Hopefully, I can be on that list one day.
Check out Laura Tisdall. She is a young composer, lyricist & writer in the U.K. She has written two musicals yet to be performed professionally, but some very well done demos from both her shows are available - and sung by some talented pros.
Deborah Brevoort, with whom I went to high school eons ago in Ridgewood, NJ, wrote a musical whose name I don't know. Chuck Cooper was part of the cast, and they eventually got married.
Deb also writes plays. "The Women of Lockerbie" has been performed in various small venues.
Audrey, the Phantom Phanatic, who nonetheless would rather be Jean Valjean, who knew how to make lemonade out of lemons.
