      Right, Elizabeth, who had an immensely successful 40 years on the throne had NO original policies or thoughts but happened to "get credit" for what Mary did /s. Mary died after a mere five years on the throne and she didn't accomplish much beyond a (very temporary) restoration of Catholicism. She was merely the wife of Philip of Spain, while Elizabeth I beat the Spanish Armada and established England as a great seafaring power, which it would be for several hundred more years Sorry,, but Mary didn't have that kind of vision.@@candicehoneycutt4318

Victoria ruled over the largest empire of all time. Elizabeth I defeated the major world power of the time, Spain. And Elizabeth II not in the top 10? Also, where are native American women? Or Boudica? Joan of Arc? Benazir Bhutto? Mother Theresa? Angela Merkel? To name but a few.

    As famous as Cleopatra was, I think Wu Zetian should’ve been in 3rd because Wu actually ruled China during a time where women had no power, whatsoever. She did not depended on another ruler to secure her power and she was smart enough to expand her territory and the empire thrived under her. In addition, she didn’t grow up as a princess. She planned her way up from a lowly concubine to queen. She was smart and brave. She also lived into her old age, which is not so common in her time as an emperor.
