The Bible, in Chapter 4 of Judges, has Deborah, a prophetess and leader (or "judge") of Israel, leading her people to victory against a foreign enemy.
In the same story there's Jael, the wife of one of Deborah's generals, who put a tent peg through an enemy king's head. She's more of a Guile Hero, however, having manipulated the guy first before killing him when distracted.
There's also Plucky Girl Judith, who tricks an enemy general and cuts his head off to free the Jews from him.
