Can't have Asmahan in there without Fairuz too and I don't think anyone has
hit Amelia Rodriguez yet

If you're just focusing on non-American women, add Asmahan to the below and
you've probably got it covered.

Also for your show, even though Rita Abadzi is the only (relatively)
well-known singer on it, you could play R. Crumb's "Hot Women" album in its
entirety

guess it depends on definition of world music, but I'd add:

Shirley Collins (and Dolly Collins)
Jean Ritchie
Joan Baez
Lata Mangeshkar
Asha Bhosle
Oum Kalthoum
heck, maybe even Josephine Baker

Around the World
