All from the old system, which doesn't dispute your point about ladies being less adventurous artistically. There were few who stood out for being artistic in unusual ways 10-20 years ago, and even fewer now. But we have only had a few years of the new system from which to draw examples.
Here's one of my favorites:

Thanks for the examples!!!
In fact I'm talking about now that the Ladies are not adventurous artistically. There are few who have a style on their own and the skating is generally static.
Gusmeroli, Hubert, Czsako, Markova, Kopac were adventurous artistically.
Kwan was adventurous choosing Taj Mahal and Salome, plus she had her own style.
Unique styles had also Irina (in her late years), Sasha, Nicole, Kristi, Tonya, Katarina, Caryn, Jill, Lu, Maria, Debi, Liz
Maybe it's the fact that the new skaters are really too young and not mature enough to develop a style on their own and to push the envelop artistically.
