Some of these are only drone-adjacent, but: Windy & Carl, Julianna Barwick, amiina, Mileece, Colleen.

Christina Carter, Morgenstern (not Barbara Morgenstern), Pauline Oliveros, Eliane Radigue. Carter Fanni Tutti from Throbbing Gristle also wrote some drone here and there, but it's not typical of her work.

Everyone above has posted my favorites, but I'll throw in Chubby Wolf (RIP). Like Windy & Carl, she was really more drone-adjacent, but try Ornitheology (cover NSFW) and see if it does anything for you.

Drone-adjacent, but parts of Shaking the Habitual by The Knife, especially "Old Dreams Waiting to be Realized."

Also drone-adjacent, drifting between drone and general cosmicness: Motion Sickness of Time Travel

Jarboe has done what I would consider some drone work in her various projects, but you would need to pick through.

Noise, but I'll still suggest: Pharmakon.

Dronish ambient: Grouper, Noveller, Christina Vantzou, Grouper.

noise-lovin' partner recommends Eliane Radigue (very minimalist drone) and Suzanne Ciani (less so but some fits). It's def. more noise in general but the Extreme Music: Women comp also comes to mind.
