Full disclosure. I have no idea what any of their songs are about, since this is the first recording I've heard (and it's a cover), but they killed it the times I've seen them.
I HIGHLY recommend these folks, if rockin' is something she seems interested in:[LINK]http://www.girlsrocknc.org/]www.girlsrocknc.org[/LINK]
They're really awesome, I can't say enough good about them and what they do. Durham is a great place to be for female rockers, and many local legends are involved.
Astroblue already suggested Paramore, which would be a top choice, as is Le Tigre. Cyndi Lauper too, who was 31 when Blue Angel put their record out.
Anyway, start with the undisputed Queen of Rock herself, Wanda Jackson. She still tours:
I don't know how this thread got this far without mention of these ladies:
Not strictly female group, but Wata was Drone Queen. Plus, it's in Japanese so any objectionable themes are moot:
Another band with a shredlord who happens to be female:
My favorite local band:
Mt Moriah is great:
Shirlette:
Fun fact: their drummer played in Born Against for a bit back in the day:
Oh yeah, those last 3 groups also happen to be local to you.
There's a lot of stuff I haven't mentioned like Lydia Loveless, Pink Flag, Babes in Toyland and tons of punk and country stuff mostly on account of more overt exploration of adult themes.

To boldly go where lots of men have gone before...
Not necessarily "rock" but Carly Simon!!!! Also Joan Baez. And the Carpenters!!! These three were really influential in my growing up. As I got older, Hole and Nico are my all time favorites but both of them are definitely a little heavy for a 7 year old.
