Best answer: I'm not sure if you'd consider Earth to still be a drone band at this point, but Adrienne Davies' drumming has been pretty influential on their current sound.
Eliane Radigue is pretty classically drone. (Seriously, give that video a try. It's fantastic.)
I can't think of any strictly drone musicians coming out of the Mills College electronic music scene in Oakland, but I'd be shocked if there weren't several... Perhaps someone more familiar can fill in the blanks there.

Best answer: (It looks like Eliane Radigue's "Trilogie de la Mort" is on Spotify in its full 3 hour glory. Not sure if there's any way to link to Spotify, but searching her name will pull it up.)

Best answer: 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.

Best answer: 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.

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

Best answer: 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.

Best answer: Chelsea Wolfe might not be droney enough, and Danielle Baquet-Long, aka Chubby Wolf might be too ambient, bht that's what comes to mind for me.
