Only Spirited Away, out of that list. What I'm familiar with mostly consists of: Rurouni Kenshin, X:1999, Tokyo Babylon, Ooku, Cowboy Bebop, Shoujo Kakumei Utena, Miyazaki's films, and small amounts of Le Chevalier D'Eon and Princess Tutu. None of which seem to do the monstrous-female thing much.
By "women with swords in them," I'm interested in the way those women don't have magic or superpowers -- they're just the sheaths that contain weapons for others, and the weirdifying effects of that -- but yeah, it doesn't seem quite in line with your topic. Alas. :-(
