Interesting point, Daisy - there is one evil woman who is just mentioned in LotR and briefly explained in the Unfinished Tales: Queen Beruthiel. Her cats, which spied for her, were legendary.
Other than that, I don't recall reading of any bad girls - even Lobelia turned good at the end of the story! Apparently Tolkien had quite a high opinion of women!
