10 Greatest Women Leaders In History

The Top Ten
1 Cleopatra Cleopatra VII Philopator, known to history simply as Cleopatra, was the last active pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt. After her reign, Egypt became a province of the recently established Roman Empire.

Cleopatra is so pretty I am going to be her for Halloween

2 Queen Victoria Queen Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death in 1901. Her reign of 63 years and seven months was longer than that of any previous British monarch and is known as the Victorian era. It was a period of industrial, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom,... read more

By far greatest leader man or women.

3 Joan Of Arc Joan of Arc, nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans", is considered a heroine of France for her role during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War, and was canonized as a Roman Catholic saint. St. Michael the Arch Angel and Sts. Catherine of Alexandria and Margaret of Antioch appeared to Joan and commanded her to save France from the onslaughts of the English.

Joan should be number 1! Cleopatra VII [ I'm assuming its cleopatra VII at least as she is the most known] was one of the worst leaders ever. She anf marc anthonys made so many poor decisions regarding the roman empire and octavion that they basically destroyed the Egyptian civilization as it was consumed by the roman empire. Plus there is considerable evidence that she actually was quite unattractive so you might want reconsider being her for Halloween top commenter. Out of all these woman joan had to endure the most hardship. As if overcoming the English was a hard enough challenge, she was lower class and female, 2 of the roughest positions to be in during the middle ages. On this list I see only Rosa Parks as comparable as she had to overcome similar challenges but she did not put an end to racial segregation in 1950s America as joan did to English rule in 1400s France, rosa parks only triggered the movement that did.

4 Cathrine The Great

There were only 2 greats for Russia! and the other one is great for naming a city after him self, she came in and improved lives for millions and changed the country for the better and stopped a lot of famine and poverty. I'm not even Russian and I know this

7 Rosa Parks Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was an African American civil rights activist, whom the United States Congress called "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement".

Rosa Parks was a demonstrator that finally stood up for the rights that had been denied from her. I am so disapointed that she was ranked so low on this list and she is a lot better than that moron Cleopatra who led the fall of the Egyptian empire

8 Hillary Rodham Clinton Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton (born October 26, 1947) is an American politician, diplomat, and former lawyer who served as the 67th United States secretary of state from 2009 to 2013, as a United States senator representing New York from 2001 to 2009, and as first lady of the United States from 1993 to 2001 as the wife of President Bill Clinton.

Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad.

I think harriet tudmen is a great leader she free 13 group of slaves and she had a great heart

The Contenders
