There are a few popular names mentioned in the Bible, but one often overlooked female leader was Deborah.

"Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time. She used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment" Judges 4:4-5
"My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel, The volunteers among the people; Bless the Lord!" Judges 5:9
"Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go; but if you don’t go with me, I won’t go." Judges 4:8
"Then Deborah said to Barak, “Go! This is the day the Lord has given Sisera into your hands. Has not the Lord gone ahead of you?” So Barak went down Mount Tabor, with ten thousand men following him." Judges 4:14
