Can anyone recommend an action anime where the main characters are female? I'm getting sick of watching action anime with faux action girls and female characters that only serve as love interests or slut queen villains.

First one that comes to mind is Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040. First anime I ever watched (which isn't Pokemon, DBZ, etc), and if you can forgive the rather crappy sound effects, it's got some good action and awesome music.

I would recommend Black Lagoon. The females in that show are really awesome.

El Cazador De La Bruja? I haven't fully watched it but it seems to fit your bill here.

Just seconding what Fang-tan has already mentioned: Noir! And, uh, I wouldn't exactly call Tenshi na Konamaiki an action-anime. It's comedy, great comedy tho!

Mai-Hime is all girl action and a very excellent series imo
Sky Girls is also a good one

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and Magic Knight Rayearth are both magical girl series to some degree, but I'd definitely categorize them just as much under action.

oh, these little earthquakes

Juuni Kokki and Kino's Journey for sure. Also, though neither are the main character, Kallen and C.C. from Code Geass are also both strong, competent female characters.

R.O.D., Shakugan no Shana, and Sola have some powerful female characters. Fate/Stay night and Tsukihime have strong female characters too, though they aren't lead characters.

I also second Mai-hime and Claymore as recommendations.

Sakura Wars TV fits perfectly. Also: Dirty Pair (Original and FLASH).

Fate/Stay Night also. Saber's pretty badass.

GunxSword has a lot (maybe not a lot, I think it's like 3 or 4 if I remember...) of female leads and action...but it's definitely not my favorite.
