Thanks everybody for these responses. I'm going to count who's name appears the most here, and keep that in consideration as I begin my project.

I asked two non-comics reading friends (a couple, one guy and one girl) seperately who they could think of...
Wonder Woman (both) Supergirl (both) Powerpuff Girls (both) Batgirl (her) Xena (her) Buffy (her) The Charmed Ones (her) Zanya from the Wonder Twins (him) - although he did call her 'that Shazam chick that turns into things' American Maid (him) - Okay, my friend does watch the Tick cartoon, as does his young son Invisible Girl (him) - referred to as 'the girl from the Fantastic Four'; when i gave her name as the Invisible Girl, he commented in surprise "Oh! Is that what she does!" Begging the question of exactly what he thought she was doing there in the first place.
And He was annoyed not to have remembered Storm once she was mentioned later by me, claiming to have loved her since the original X-Men cartoons.
It was interesting to see their slighly differing interpretation of 'superhero' in their calls of the Powerpuff Girls, The Charmed Ones, Xena and Buffy for the list. She took the time to mention she definately thought the Charmed Ones were superheroes as they 'have super powers' and 'do good deeds'.

There's tons more I love, such as Hellcat, Polaris, Valkyrie, Black Widow, Crystal, Medusa, Mantis, Power Girl, Huntress etc. but can they really be called popular? I dunno.
And any chick hero who had her own MEGO doll can be called an icon. Let's see, that would be...

this group is sorta 'second tier', with some mulimedia exposure:
Heroic TV ladies that the general public are likely to consider 'super':
Buffy and Willow The Charmed Ones Zena Dark Angel Power Puffs Chyna
My Favs, not including the above:
Arrowette Wonder Girl The Wasp Abby Chase Caitlin Fairchild Freefall Black Canary Mary Marvel Star Girl Jade

Yeah, I know this is a bit late, but: Comic and non comic choices all in one. Xena Black Widow Phoenix Catwoman Wonder Woman Starfire Troia Wasp Invisible Woman Scarlet Witch Hepzibah (from Starammers) Storm Tigra Moonstar (The others are LSH characters. Their inits are D, DG, and SL in pretty much that order)
