Well done! There are others, of course, such as Euodia and Syntyche whom Paul calls "fellow workers" (meaning equal with him), see Phil. 4:2-3. And Chloe, in I Corinthians 1, is clearly the leader of a church.

But the example I like to give is the woman leader nicknamed "Jezebel" in Revelation 2:19-25. She is excoriated for her false teaching, but nowhere is it mentioned that she is such because she is a woman. There are other later examples as well.
