They were trying to unite a wide variety of kingdoms under 1 rule and they figured that the best way to provide a cohesive, "national" identity was to unite everyone under one religion. Anyway, I´m very late to te party, but I thought it was a good list! And anyone who compares Oprah or Hillary Clinton or Indira Ghandi to any of these women has been munching on some funny brownies at lunch.

I happen to agree with Mr. Smarty Pants. Victoria had an immense amount of social power and influence. She was also considered the grandmother of Europe because of all of her children and grandchildren that she had successfully married off to other monarchs. Making her influence spread to several other countries throughout the world. To me influence is power. I believe that if she wanted to, she could have raised an army that would have made Elizabeth wet herself. She truly was a powerfull woman.
