You really want this to be a trope.

The Wizard of Oz isn't a particularly girly movie. I'll give you Sleeping Beauty because of the princess, but I'm not backing down on Oz.

Snoop was never established as a PsychoLesbian (and she seemed to want to be seen as attractive by men - "How my hair look?"), and your insistence that being a PsychoLesbian somehow disqualifies her from this category of female villains is illogical.

SamusIsAGirl is a similarly arbitrary disqualification. So they have to be a known female force from the very beginning to qualify.

Lilith is still a CompleteMonster in the original story due to ValuesDissonance, and the mass murder of infants and the spawning of demons to torment all of mankind is a bit of an overreaction in anyone's eyes.

This trope is now:

1) Has to be a villainous woman

2) Has to be straight (not a DepravedBisexual or PsychoLesbian, because they're not real women or something)
 - A more generous interpretation: she can have no other factors involved in the villainy, such as belonging to an AlwaysChaoticEvil race.

3) Has to be human. (good one, actually)

4) Has to be evil, menacing, with no real excuse.

5) Can't be in a girly movie.

6) Has to be a known and apparently female force the entire time.

7) Has to be pure evil according to modern values.

7) No HeelFaceTurn.
