  Here are the results from the relevant queries on my database constructed from the downloads available from the [FIDE rating download website](https://ratings.fide.com/download.phtml) for the top female players by rapid rating rated over 2450 (round number to give about 50 players - actually 53 players).
  
  The "Period" is the first FIDE rating list in which the player achieved the rating. If the player didn't play rated standard for a year after that then they obviously retain the rating for the next year so the "Period" is the year and month in which FIDE first recorded that rating for them.
