This can be from anything. Books, comics, TV, movies, whatever. Id prefer ones that are still considered evil and havent been redeemed, but Im fine with whatever.

The one that came to mind to me is Ursula from Little Mermaid, but that surely isnt the top. If not going with my extra requirement, Harley Quinn? Again, that feels small scale kinda.

I immediately thought of Maleficent and Carmilla (from the eponymous novel; every such named character in vampire fiction comes from her).

Lady MacBeth.
Very nice. As far as I know, she established a literary archetype for such characters (though the historical record of many real life women of ruthless ambition predates her creation around the year 1600).

Oh Maleficent is way better than Ursula for sure, that shouldve been super obvious >_>. I actually thought of Catwoman, but Im pretty sure shes not been a villain for a while, at least not really.

Mishil from Queen Seondeok is one of the best villains I've ever seen, male or female. Just constantly scheming and running gambit after gambit, and able to quickly bounce back from a setback and roll it into one of her other machinations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Seondeok_(TV_series)

Carla the Grey Witch from Record of Lodoss War was great, too.

I ran a 5 year long D&D campaign, War of the Burning Sky, and modeled the main villain after the above two, especially Mishil. Had a huge plot twist about 4 years into it that the party had been her unwitting pawns the entire time that just utterly broke them (and gave them all the inspiration they needed to continue to the end and take her down, after campaign burn out had set in by then).

She was redeemed, but Lady Kayura from Ronin Warriors was such a great cocky villain before said redemption.

Poison Ivy came up first in mind. Though, nowadays the old her might just be seen as an anti-hero eco-terrorist.

Was Catwoman ever truly a villain outside of the 1966 Batman series?

I know that she was an antihero in the 1940s when she was still "The Cat." She'd be a thief that Batman had to catch in one comic and a damsel in distress whom he had to rescue from the Joker in another. The Batman '66 series was unapologetically black and white in its morality -- for humorous effect, of course -- and so Catwoman was solidly bad.

I'm not really acquainted with her in the comics. Even Batman Returns tried to absolve her of all guilt beyond inexplicably wanting to kill Batman. Since then, adaptations have mostly skipped over her being a villain and have gone straight to her being an antihero.

While interpretations on their "villainy" have varied over the millennia, Ishtar and Lilith are both ancient figures that have long been portrayed as antagonistic characters across various media.

I think inspiring innumerable villainesses for thousands of years had to count for something in terms of being "iconic."
