Delia Derbyshire, the British electronic artist of the 1960's responsible for the Dr. Who theme did a lot of great stuff and also has a lot of great photos on the internet. Searches result in links to other female synthesizer artists.
The photo that Joe posted can be seen on this BBC official site:

which is notable to me for this quote:
"On being told at the Workshop that her music was 'too lascivious for 11 year olds' and 'too sophisticated for the BBC2 audience',..."
That site has a link to this article with some very short clips from well known and recently found compositions:

All of which pales next to this unauthorized fan site which catalogs every single published work complete with background and other commentary:

Here is a lovely but ultimately shallow retrospective on the occasion of a Dr. Who anniversary, complete with a recent photo of her:

Here is an also tantalizing article which seems to show her giving a lecture during a "Delia Derbyshire Day":

Here is an article about another electronic music festival, notable mainly for the "Gilliagan's Island" photo that seems to have been published only in this one article:

Photo Searched of Delia Derbyshire result in astonishingly close near-misses with other synthesists who are interestesting in their own right.
One of these is Suzanne Ciani, because an article once referred to her as an "American Delia Derbyshire":

Found on this hilarious synthesizer-focused pintrest board:

She is often seen in photos with short hair like Delia, but also long 70's hair, and has a big online footprint from later in life as well due to having remained busy. Her photos show an immense range of studio equipment, from patch panels to TRS-80's to a grand piano in a Hollywood mansion:

The reason that movie star Sarah Winter's photos occasionally come up in Delia image searches is because she played her in some TV movie:
