Was St. Teresa the first women saint?
I am not sure which of the many Teresas you are referring to but there were many, many female saints long before any of them were canonized.
Were any saints canonized before they died?
No, this is actually impossible. By definition, a "saint" is essentially any soul that currently resides in Heaven, including angels as well as humans. This means that even if you were not canonized but made it to Heaven, you are a saint (with a lower-case 's'). In order to become a Saint, the Pope must say a cannonization mass in your honor after you pass away and your soul has been determined to be definitely in heaven. This cannonization process often times takes years if not centuries.

Who are the canonized saints?
Before the 12th century there was no official system for canonization. Saints were declared by popular acclamation, usually with the approval of a bishop. In the 12th century the power to declare saints was removed from local control and placed with the pope. Today the office in Rome that investigates candidates for sainthood is called the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints. Saints declared before the 12th century are thus called pre-congregational saints. The Congregation investigates possible saints and makes recommendations to the pope.
When was Saint Justina born?
