Icons lifestyle

Hollywood actresses often become a style icon for many people who are ready to imitate them. They dictate the style of their choice affects what places and parties become fashionable, and even hair sometimes make "under the Monroe" or "under Lady Di". But there is a category of celebrity, which affects the world even more and become icons - not only style, but also a lifestyle. This female politicians. Each of them becomes an event in the world is affected by them all around, not only for clothes and way of life, but more importantly - on the minds. So, my personal top 7 women politicians.




1. Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria, which people called her a widow, ruled England longer than any other British monarch, despite the fact that she was a woman. More than 63 years she spent on the throne, and died when he was old and wise in 1901. It certainly was not the first woman on the throne - to her throne successfully ascended Queen Christina of Sweden, Queen Elizabeth of England, Empress Elizabeth and Catherine Russia ... but none of them had such a large impact on their country, as this seems to be do nothing, woman. It affects literally everything: culture, literature, art, way of thinking, customs, fashion. No wonder the entire period of her reign was called Victorian. Through their children and grandchildren, it also affects the whole of Europe - the royal Romanov family also among her descendants. After she left the Victorian literature and the Victorian fashion that still continue to influence minds.










2. Lady Di
Lady Diana Spencer was never in power, but remained in history as one of the most influential women in politics. According to the British people, it ranks third among the one hundred greatest Britons in history. The opinions mattered. Diana, Princess of Wales, formally belonged to the royal house, had the blood of the rulers of England. Her father had the title of count, and she has become perhaps the most popular representative of the nobility after Princess Grace of Monaco. She died when she was 36 - is negligible on the scale of eternity. Her place in history also does not attract special attention: the first wife of the heir to the throne - this is too little to this fact could someone interested. But she smiled so brightly was so good, and so was able to establish a dialogue between the ruling house and the English people that it will not soon forget.












3. Margaret Thatcher
Europe's first and only woman in England, Prime Minister. Tough, pragmatic, stubborn inflexibility - she was a child she knew what she wanted. As a result, she has made a career, was chosen to improve the economy of England and within a decade defined by the policy around the world. This achievement is all the more important that his ascent Thatcher made from the bottom of the common people. She was one of the first women who have proven - even in a man's world a woman, if he wants, can do everything. Most importantly, what was in it - it's unrelenting belief in yourself. It was she allowed her to break inside the traditional basis on which rested the policy of Europe and to change the system once and for all. Considered the most popular British politician after Winston Churchill.

By the way, in Hollywood kind of like making a movie with Meryl Streep in the title role. The film will be called "The Iron Lady" and due for release later this year - we will see.






















4. Indira Gandhi
The second woman in history after Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike. However, it has no relation to Mahatma Gandhi - they just namesakes. Nevertheless, at the time, Indira made no less than Gandhi did in his. Indira was a traditional Indian woman - a mother, and at the same time - a politician, especially not just in more than a traditional, but still divided on caste Indian society. That less it won elections in the Indian Parliament, and to do it twice. However, this is not surprising: Indira - the daughter of the first Prime Minister of India, her son and daughter also has this title. All during her reign was marked by a variety of disasters economic downturn before the war, but it somehow cope with all this. She was murdered in 1984, his own bodyguard, who was outraged by the decision in the war, which led India at that time.














5. Golda Meir
Evsreyskaya immigrant, left Russia in early childhood, she became a legend in his own time and part-time mother of a new country. It is thanks to the activities of the revolutionary-minded girls emerged the state of Israel. Golda Meir was one of two women signed the Declaration of Independence of Israel - for her it was a fabulous fortune, for the Jewish people thus regaining his house. She was one of those who led the war for Israel's independence. After creating a new state and winning Gold held various positions in the Israeli government and became the fifth Prime Minister of the new state, and much has changed for the better in all the then world. At one time, her name was very important to many people who had no other hope.

World cinema has not disregarded this figure. In 1982 the UK was filmed "A Woman Called Golda," in which the main role was played by Ingrid Bergman - it was the last role in a movie, Ingrid.


















6. Angela Merkel
German Chancellor. Perhaps the most influential woman in the world at the moment. Needless to say that an angel - the first woman chancellor and thus the youngest chancellor in Germany's history, and it also - the most popular politician in Europe. She was particularly fond of in Germany - after it came to power, the German economy is clearly doing better. Angel - is another example of a rare self-belief that has allowed it to be an exception in European politics. "I underestimated for many years, - she says. - But I itself never underestimated. " However, Angel - still unfinished page. To the full extent of its role will be clear in twenty years.














7. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
Another rare exception. At the moment, this is the first and only female president in Africa. She started her career off the Liberian Council of Ministers back in 1970, became finance minister in 2006 after two decades of civil war, she became president of the country. For Africa, plagued by hunger, drug wars and similar incident - beyond reality. All my life this woman is fighting for peace and justice and now - the president. Laura Bush said: "Johnson-Sirleaf - a good example of what can happen if the girls get a good education." Good education Ellen really is - even two. Now Liberia is in full swing change in legislation, the economy and the general climate (which is still not very good, but little by little changed for the better), and who knows what is yet to come?
