Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
There are many female cartoonists and mangaka!. I don't actually know much about cartoonists, but I can list some female mangaka!.
CLAMP (the whole group is female)
Kaori Yuki
Yukiru Sugisake
Yu Watase
Those are just the ones I know off the top of my head; there are many more!.

There is actually a Comics and Animation section in the Entertainment area thingy, you might try posting there for help!.

I'm not sure an American can really be a mangaka, but there's nothing to keep you from being a comic artist!.
