If you are looking for 19th century material you may want to investigate
the Sonatina of Carolyn Schleicher--the first known woman clarinet soloist.
You can find the work in a collection of 19th works published by Editio
Musica Budapest. Louis Ferenc (prof of comp at the Paris Cons--19th century)
wrote a lovely trio for clarinet and `cello with piano.

You may also want to contact Prof Scott Bridges at the School of Music
University of Alabama. I believe he toured with an all woman for the clarinet
program a few years ago. I don't know if he is a member of the list or not.
