YES! Quite a few women composers were very famous at the time and made a living as performers and composers, if that is how you define success. Do a search for "Baroque Women Composers", and you will learn of a dozen or more. Here's three that were especially famous in their own life times to get you started: Barbara Strozzi, Francesca Caccini, and Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre. There are also performers today that specialize in finding and performing music by Baroque women including Ars Femina and La Donna Musicale.

Well, to be brutally honest, there aren't any famous composers, i.e. any composers that wrote anything well-known, from Australia. None of the composers that have their own category on WikiAnswers are Australian, and there are so many Australian composers I couldn't possibly give you a list of all of them.
