Margaret Thatcher is considered by Britons to be the most
influential woman of the past 200 years, a poll has revealed.
Scottish Widows, collaborating with historian and author
Suzannah Lipscomb, marked its 200-year anniversary by trying to identify which
women were seen as having the greatest impact on society over the last two
centuries.
Around 2,000 respondents across all ages, genders and
regions chose between women from the worlds of politics and world affairs,
journalism and broadcasting and science and technology.
‘The top 10 are an impressive list of women – each of
them was or has been responsible for or overseen real change, but in addition
nearly every one of them has some symbolic importance beyond their own person,’
said Suzannah Lipscomb.
