This site aims to be an ongoing archive of information about female porn directors: who they are, what they produce and why they are important.
The site is growing but it is in no way comprehensive. There are a lot of women out there making porn and they have been for decades. It’s not going to be possible to feature every one of them here, though we’ll be adding more information constantly.
In the meantime, this post is simply a list of all the female porn directors we can think of. Because we think every woman who has got behind the camera to make porn has contributed to where we are today. Different perspectives, different ideas and different techniques. The women listed here come from both the mainstream (LA) porn industry and outside it, from the US, Australia and Europe. In time it will be expanded to include genres, styles, bios and more information but right now, it’s just a list. Also, new names will be added once we remember/research them!

You might also want to check out the Periodic Table of Feminist Porn which gives an idea of orientation, genres, nationalities etc.
PS Yes, this list has been alphabetized using first names. My inner librarian is horrified. But it kinda works.
PSS This is a list of female-identified people and includes cis and trans directors.
