Many modern US bands are fronted by great female singers. Besides Bent Knee, I would recommend Phideaux (comprising no less than four talented ladies!), iNFiNiEN, Inner Ear Brigade, the sadly disbanded MoeTar, Ut Gret. and Galactic Cowboy Orchestra. Half Past Four from Toronto (Canada) are also excellent. I have seen most of them live, and they are all highly recommended!

Off the top of my head, and with prog in mind:
Renaissance Curved Air Magenta Mostly Autumn The Reasoning Panic Room Karnataka Touchstone Iona Anathema Iamthemorning.... .... along with a whole raft of solo artists, obviously. Sometimes vocal duties are shared with males. Loads more, no doubt...but can't promise you'll think they'll fit your tastes and consider them great, though.

There are also great bands out there that have female lead singers that share the duties with male lead singers. For instance, bands that are listed on this site like Black Mountain, Anathema, Archive, Dead Can Dance, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.
There are some great female soloists that most people here know that are also listed on this site like Kate Bush, Bjork, Tori Amos. Just naming some obvious ones off the top of my head. What style are you looking for?

Oh one more that is a personal favorite that you won't find on the archives and that is a band called "Eye to Eye". They only released a few albums in the early 80s, but they were a very awesome band with a Steely Dan style jazz-rock. Lead singer is Deborah Berg and she co-founded the band with pianist Julian Marshall.

Looking over the list I just posted ^ I must say, I think there are far more great female singers in prog world than males--I love every single one of the voices on that list!

The three Fairport Convention progressive British folk albums What We Did On Our Holidays, Unhalfbricking and Liege & Lief with the ethereal Sandy Denny singing (their self-titled debut album is also very good but it is more a straightforward emulation of American folk rock with nods to Dylan and Joni Mitchell).
Haunting vocals.
