For thousands of years, men have dominated the history books. However, a woman with power, intelligence and influence can rule the world with no less success. Who are they, the most-most?
1. Catherine de Medici (1519-1589)
One of the most powerful women in Europe. She was part of the House of Medici - the most influential Florentine family. At the age of 14, she married a young man who would later become King Henry II of France. She had 10 children, three of whom went on to rule France. During civil war and the uprisings in her hands had incredible power and political influence.
2. Eleanor of Aquitaine (1124-1204)
One of the richest, most powerful and influential women in Europe in the 12th century. As a teenager, she became a duchess and soon married King Louis VII. They were married for 15 years, and just a week after the divorce, Eleanor remarried. Her husband later became King Henry II of England. Three of her ten children also became kings. One of her most famous sons is Richard the Lionheart.
This woman had incredible influence over her reigning sons. So in fact, she ruled Europe at that time. This is impressive, especially when you consider that in the Middle Ages, women were not usually given important and influential roles.
3. Marie Curie (1867-1934)
One of the most successful and advanced figures in science. Without her research on radioactivity and X-rays, our world would be completely different. Also, together with her husband, they discovered the chemical element polonium.
Marie Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics (1903) and Chemistry (1911). She was the first woman to receive this award and is still the only person to have received the award in two different sciences.
4. Cleopatra (69-30 BC)
The legendary queen, the last ruler of Egypt, who ruled for 21 years. Widely known for her love affair with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony. Considered the most powerful female ruler of the ancient world.
5. Mother Teresa (1910-1997)
Known for her philanthropy. In 1948 she founded the "Missionary Sisters of Love" community, which helped the sick, the poor and the needy.
During her lifetime, Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Prize, and after her death she was beatified. To complete the canonization and canonization of saints, only one proof of a miracle is missing.
6. Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)
The first woman to become Prime Minister of Great Britain and was in power for 11 years - the longest prime ministerial term in the 20th century.
Incredible leadership qualities helped her win the honorary title of "Iron Lady". It completely changed the political, social and economic state of Great Britain. This was made possible by her policies of reducing unemployment, privatizing state-owned companies and reducing the influence of unions.
7. Queen Elizabeth I
Daughter of King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. The last monarch of the Tudor dynasty, who ruled from 1558 to 1603.
Being unmarried and having no political ties with other countries, Queen Elizabeth was an independent woman who could make her own decisions and lead the country in the direction she needed. In fact, her first step as queen was to transform the country into a Protestant state. She was in power at an extremely important period in Britain's history. During her reign, Britain defeated the Spanish Armada, Walter Reilly became one of the first colonizers of North America, and Shakespeare wrote his famous works. The influence of this woman on the world is irrefutable.
8. Oprah Winfrey
Without a doubt, one of the most influential women of our time. This is impressive, especially considering that she grew up in poverty and was sexually abused as a child. As a teenager, she got a job at a radio station. This is where her media empire grew from.
Now Oprah, once the host of her own show, is the main executive director of his TV channel, owner and CEO of Harpo Productions, owner of O magazine. And that's not all. She is also the recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom (the highest honor an American citizen can receive).
9. Eleanor Roosevelt
Wife of former President Franklin Roosevelt, who was the longest-serving First Lady of America. While her husband was involved in politics, she also played an active role in the political world, which was unheard of for the wife of the President. She made speeches on behalf of her husband, and several times even publicly disagreed with his policies.
After the death of Franklin Roosevelt, Eleanor continued her career. She was active in the United Nations, was an American delegate and chair of the Human Rights Committee, and contributed to the writing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
10. Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria is still Britain's longest-reigning monarch. 63 years and 7 months (from 1837 to 1901) - this period is known as the Victorian era. It was a time of incredible discoveries, the development of the economy, industry and the influence of Great Britain.
The power and influence of Queen Victoria was enormous. The British Empire stretched from Canada to Australia. It was the largest and most powerful empire in the world, and the queen ruled over hundreds of millions of people. The most incredible woman who has changed the world.
We believe that this is indeed the case. And it also seems to us that sometimes a woman does not need a man at all for great achievements. One way or another, greatness suits the ladies, and let's make sure of this together.

Famous women in the history of the world who managed to achieve fame,
power or outstanding success in any field human life, lot.
Given the nature of a patriarchal society over the past ten thousand years, this is no small feat. Many women have managed to influence the course of world history no less than men.
The names of these women are known to all. There are legends about them, books are written about them and films are made. And all because their strong spirit, beauty, and extraordinary courage helped them rise above the boring generally accepted rules in a world dominated by men.
Since there were many such women, it is difficult to determine how the most famous in history. These are women who were truly famous because most people have heard of them. They either gained a high degree of political power, or had a significant impact on society to the extent that they were able to change the perception of the world and shape politics, or made great scientific discoveries and inventions, etc.
Of course, there are many more worthy women who are not represented in this list.
1. Olympias - the mother of Alexander the Great influenced the course historical events far more than the great Aristotle. She gave birth to Alexander and nurtured his character.

Olga's wisdom was so great that she did not allow her son's heroism to deplete human and economic resources Russia.

Princess Olga is one of those who are remembered in a conversation about the great women of the Russian land.
5.

Catherine was a German on the Russian throne, she maintained close contacts with Europe and was in correspondence with smartest people of his time.
6. Jane Gray is the most legendary English queen. She ruled for only 9 days, which is why she is called the "Queen of Nine Days". But, despite such a short period of reign, Jane Gray remained in history. For the Protestants persecuted by Mary, Jane was a martyr, the first victim of the English counter-reformation.

Despite such a terrible reputation for Catherine, in political matters she was very naive.

Margaret Thatcher, this The Iron Lady"occupied a pro-American position, lobbied for the deployment of American missiles in the UK and Europe, actively increased the UK's nuclear potential, and even unleashed the Falklands War.
12. Queen Elizabeth 1 went down in history as the "Virgin Queen". Although Ivan the Terrible himself wooed the English Queen Elizabeth 1, it did not come to the wedding, and no one did.

When in ancient persia in the confrontation for power, the financial and military elites converged, then Esther spoke for the financial side, most of which consisted of Jews of her own blood. Then the scales tipped in their favor, and the Jews won the coveted victory. No one was honored with the memory of the entire Jewish people, which Esther inherited. But she was just the wife of the king of Persia. But she had such an influence on his decisions that the outcome of the battle was predetermined. It is in honor of Esther that Jews around the world have been celebrating Purim for more than 3,000 years. Her name is inscribed in the Bible and only because of this has come down to our days.

The marriage with Louis XII was supposed to be a confirmation of the peace treaty between France and England, but the king, who was 34 years older than the bride, soon died. Then Mary achieved marriage with the Duke of Suffolk, from whom she gave birth to 4 children. Mary was hostile to Anne Boleyn, which caused the coldness of Elizabeth I to all the descendants of Mary Tudor.

It is believed that it was Evgenia who influenced her husband's decision to get involved in the Mexican adventure. And she also became an indirect culprit of the Franco-Prussian War.

Queen Min skillfully maintained a balance in the country at the time of its “discovery” to the West, preventing new allies from depriving Korea of its independence.

From time immemorial, it was believed that making discoveries, ruling and changing the world is a man's business. However, this does not mean that women remained out of work.
Women-princesses, writers, scientists left their mark on history, changing the course of events. The women of Russia were no exception. They are still admired, they want to be like them. Let's talk a little about famous political and not only figures of past centuries.
The Greatest Monarchs
Women have played an important role in the history of states. They managed to manage the state no worse than men. They were feared and obeyed. The biography of each of them is inseparable from the fate of the country, closely intertwined with it.
Despite the imperious and tough management style, the people considered her wise and fair. The financial system was reformed, stone construction in the cities was started. After her death, the church canonized Olga as a saint. In the entire history of this honor, only 5 Christian women have been awarded.
Eleanor of Aquitaine - Queen of France. When she was 15 years old, after the death of all relatives in the male line, the girl inherited the Duchy of Aquitaine. Her guardian was the King of France, Louis the Fat.
After the marriage with his son and the death of Louis himself, Eleanor became the French queen. However, the marriage soon broke up, and the woman married and became the wife of Henry of Anjou. As a result, the duchy of Aquitaine, in the form of a bride's dowry, became part of England. According to some historians, it was these two marriages that later led to the beginning of the Hundred Years War.
Catherine II - Empress Russian Empire who ruled at the end of the 18th century. She was the wife Peter III. However, not wanting to spend the rest of her life in a monastery, she decided to take power into her own hands through a palace coup.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Margaret Thatcher, went down in history as the Iron Lady. The woman worked in this position for 11 years. During this time, she managed to triple the economy, carry out reforms and make the UK the leading country in Europe.
And the scientist cat
Women became famous not only in the political arena. Women scientists have made many discoveries that have changed people's views on the structure of the world. We learn the biographies of several more famous women.
In 1874, Kovalevskaya received her doctorate in philosophy (at the University of Göttingen). In 1881 she became a member of the Moscow Mathematical Society. At the end of the 19th century, the Russian Academy of Sciences recognized her merits and awarded her the title of Corresponding Member. She soon received an award from the Swedish Academy of Sciences.
As a result, Bronislava received her medical education in Paris, and Maria had two diplomas (in chemistry and physics). Maria carried out scientific work together with her husband Pierre, who was engaged in similar research. The woman became famous all over the world after receiving the Nobel Prize for research in the field of cancer treatment through radiation exposure.
Oh muse, muse...
Her beautiful and graceful movements left no one indifferent. In 1907, she first performed the miniature "The Dying Swan", which later became popular. Her performance at the Russian Seasons in France (Paris) brought her worldwide fame. Her name is still on the lips of the ballet community.
The artists immortalized their names in paintings. The famous painter Natalya Goncharova was engaged in lithography and poster art. She was a good speaker. She had a great capacity for work and devoted a lot of time to painting. Once, at an exhibition in Moscow, a woman presented about seven hundred works. Now the work of this famous painter is very popular.
In past centuries, mostly male composers became famous. But who, if not sensitive female natures, should be engaged in creating music? Gaitana Essami was born in the Congo, but has lived most of her life in Ukraine.
Not yet becoming famous in the musical field, she was engaged in voicing cartoons. In 2003, her first solo album was released. A woman not only writes lyrics, but also composes music herself, so let's hope that over time, when the word “composers” is mentioned, women's names will also pop up in people's memory.
Previously, in the theater, all roles were performed only by men, these days there are no official restrictions. However, the cinema and now is not distinguished by the equality of men and women. In the director's field, this is even more noticeable - mostly men become famous. Women directors make up only a few percent.
The most popular of them are S. Coppola, K. Muratova, K. Bigelow. This list includes not only foreign, but also Russian representatives - S. Druzhinina, V. Gai-Germanika, T. Lioznova, G. Volchek, A. Surikova.
Another well-known director - Svetlana Druzhinina - began her career in the circus, then entered the choreographic school at the Bolshoi Theater.
The injury received during the training did not allow her to continue working in this field, and Svetlana became an actress. She was successful, but she was not given the main roles. At the age of 30, she began to study as a director. Among her famous works, it should be noted: "Wooing a Hussar", "Dulcinea of Toboso", "Princess of the Circus", "Midshipmen", the series "Secrets of Palace Coups".
Heroines of the century of the past and the century of the present
Russian women showed themselves especially brightly during the Great Patriotic War. Their heroism left no one indifferent. Descendants also remember the feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. Having been taken prisoner during the sabotage, she, having endured all the torture, did not give out information about the whereabouts of her detachment. Subsequently, she was introduced to the title of Hero Soviet Union posthumously.
She received a good education, but an unsuccessful marriage and divorce forced her to work first in a circus and then as a dancer. Before the war, she was recruited by the German secret services, then the woman also worked for French intelligence. In 1917, she was exposed and executed.
Women also showed themselves in business. Mary Kay Ash created the now well-known cosmetics company Mary Kay. Mary's approach was a feature. She allowed women to earn money doing housework. Mothers could plan their own work schedule and regulate the level of earnings. Later, other companies followed suit. As a result, even today, women who are raising children can earn money and make a career, feel independent and successful.
This article touches on the biographies of only a few great women. However, after reading them, we can conclude that famous women of the world is not just a big name, but a tribute to all the ladies who have dedicated their lives to their favorite work and proved that they can also successfully manage the state, make scientific discoveries, and engage in creativity, like men. They went down in history forever and changed attitudes towards the role of women in the world. Author: Olga Lupandina
Many men, and society as a whole, perceive women as only housewives who must devote their entire lives to raising children and running a household, while women themselves are capable of doing much more powerful things that can change the world for the better. Of course, it is foolish to argue that the world belongs to men, but women play an important role in everything that happens in it, and now we will prove it to you.
