I occasionally get asked where one could go to find women speakers for tech events and conferences. Here is short list from the top of my head:
Women in Data run by @yoditstanton
Rails Bridge (for Ruby)
pyladies (for Python)
flossie (forFree/Libre Open Source Software)
JDuchess (for Java)
LambdaLadies (for functional programming)
MzTek (technology and art)
Also on twitter
@anettebgo (javascript) UK
@annashipman (software craftsmanship, Java, Ruby, JavaScript, Perl, development methodology and clean code) UK
@fhr (my boss on R, big data and DataKind) UK
@jennifersmithco (clojure, neo4j & graphs) UK
@jenit (open data) UK
@lunivore (bdd) UK

I'm sure @ashedryden has a much more complete list on her blog as she is writing a book on this.
