Ska'll stars

Who are your favourite women in ska (and reggae, I guess?)
I adore Amy Winehouse's ska tracks* and The Slits (not technically ska, but seriously, listen to them??) as my recent discoveries. On the general ska front, I love the Specials as much as I love Against All Authority, so I go for all waves. An old female-fronted mainstay of mine is The Cartel from Montréal, but no one knows about them and there's almost no online documentation about them...
*: I'm convinced that if she had kept singing ska, she wouldn't have killed herself. She sounds so happy!!
