Women Speed Ascents - corrected
Heidi Wirtz and Vera Schulte-Pelkum teamed up this June and climbed The Nose in 12:15, Half Dome in 5:25 and Leaning Tower in 5:15. They had both been up The Nose once prior in 16 and 12 hrs respectively and would have broken 12 if not for a loop of rope getting caught around the stem of a fixed Camalot 2 pitches from the top. I believe it is the fastest Half Dome ascent for any all-female team.
Heidi climbed Half Dome last year with Micah Dash in 4:30.

Steph Davis climbed Half Dome in under 4 hours, several years ago. She has also freed the route. (I read this in BD catalogs and the website.)
