Most of the rappers are male. Why low number of females?
Also, share your favourite singles from female rappers.
If you're looking for recommendations, everything by Missie Elliot is worth listening to.

I really love Doechii, especially "Denial is a river". But her whole most recent mixtape is amazing. Also do checkout her Tiny Desk performance, she is the one to watch I think.
I was going to mention her Tiny Desk show. It's a banger!

I'll echo what others have said and mention Rainforest by Noname (or any of her other music)

Doechii is truly talented

Women are underrepresented in a lot of roles throughout the world. It is usually due to some combination of social norms, expected gender roles, lack of opportunities, and old fashioned sexism.
It's also possible you simply don't see many female rappers because it's not the music you seek out. There are lots of very talented women in the rap scene. Though they certainly do not get the attention they deserve (see the paragraph above).
Edit: to answer the second part of your question, I'll go old school and say Rebirth of Slick by Diggable Planets. Missy Elliott and Lauren Hill are top-shelf, too. Other people here have mentioned Doechii; she's a new star on the rise.
Really you could put all of DPS and I'd count it. Ladybug is so cool, I love all her verses in any of their songs.

I misread the title until I saw you said that "there are lots of very talented women in the [...] scene."

YouTube recommended CupcakKe to me a while back and her style is fun. I don't remember which song I like best, but Old Town Hoe was a good one.

The majority of hip-hop I listen to is female. Tierra Whack (who imho is one of the world's all time greatest rapper), Latto, Glorilla, Megan Thee Stallion, Bea (despite the beef), Audrey Nuna, Young Miko, City Girls, Cardi B, Mariah the Scientist, Omeretta the Great, Doja, Ms. Nina, Renni Rucci, Lady Lashure, THOT Squad, Londynn B, LightSkinKeisha, REI AMI, Baby Tate, Tommy, Noname, Nitty Scott ... and so on

Angel Haze. She hasn't released an album in a decade but she still comes out with singles every now and then. My favourite songs are "No Limits" and "Weight"
I also love Meg the Stallion's Tramazine album.
Notable mention: "4AM in Toronto" by Miloh Smith & Junia-T
Like a lot of male dominant professions, women often have a hard time gaining success in this industry. Whether that's because fewer female rappers exist or labels are just less willing to sign them, I don't know.

I like dessa from doomtree, jean grae, doechii
Dessa has the best writing.
