I could have sworn I read it somewhere.
We have pretty much figured out who they are, but it has never been answered directly. And we don't know how the light/dark side channelers rank compared to one another - or even exactly how the dark side channelers rank amongst each other.
If there are definitely 6 total female channelers above Nynaeve (including dark siders) then it stands to reason that at least 3 of them are Alivia, Sharina and Talaan.
1) Alivia - Nynaeve stated that Alivia was stronger.
2) Sharina - Also that Sharina was stronger annoyed Nynaeve
3) Talaan - Nynaeve dueled Talaan who is young and has not reached
her potential at all yet and after a little bit of pushing
from the Sea Folk she was shielding Nynaeve even while Nynaeve
was _holding_ the Source. We know that this means she must
have been significantly stronger as shielding someone who
is holding the Source is much harder to do unless you are
significantly stronger. Plus Nynaeve stated that Talaan
had not even reached her potential.
4) Nynaeve
5) Egwene - I chose her instead of many others, because of all the other
channelers it seems that she would most likely reach her
full potential as she was being pushed harder than any of
the others. Being a damane was one of the 'forcings'. The
other thing is that when Egwene said she couldnt have faced
Moghedian she was much weaker in her potential, so now that
could have changed.
Cadsuane could also be #5
