In Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier the title character was not a very good person and neither was the maid, don't remember her name.
there is a great book called The Monstrous feminine about bad and evil women, it's a very good book. Grendel's mother in Beowulf is very evil, but I did pity her in the original poem but in movies based on the poem she is usually seen as an evil women who uses men to get what she wants, often in a sexual way.

Personally, I think that the unique and supreme delight lies in the certainty of doing 'evil'–and men and women know from birth that all pleasure lies in evil. - Baudelaire
how?
have you been reading 50 shades recently?
Milady de Winter? She's a truly great female literary villain. And, of course, Morgan le Fey is the eternal thorn in King Arthur's side...
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

Well there’s Lady Macbeth in Macbeth, The Queen in Cymbeline, Professor Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter, Rachel in My cousin Rachel by Daphne du Maurier, The White Witch in Narnia and Meda in Meda by Euripides.
As for Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca, even though her behavior towards the new Mrs. De Winter was not justifiable, I still did feel sorry for her. After all she had been very attached to Rebecca and the marriage to the new bride had been very sudden.
No, not really
There is plenty of Bad Girls: Circe, Helen, Mirrha, Dalilah, Djanira, Baba Yaga, Lamia, Lilith, Cathy from Wutthering Heights, almost every woman inside the stories told by Scheherazade, Carmilla, a collection of witches, evil faeries and stepmothers inside faery tales, Madame Defarge from Tale of two cities, Gagool from King Solomon's Mine...
Cathy From East of Eden I think makes a pretty good bad girl.
And though personally I like her, some might consider Becky Sharp from Vanity Fair to be a bad girl.
Another who I quite like but others might consider bad is Clytemnestra from The Oresteia

Don't forget Cruella de Ville from 101 Dalmatians.
According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was 'a gigantic dwarf', and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.

Now that you mention that, Fairy Tales in general offer a plethora of villainous females
