One I personally like and you see her more and more on the world stage is the head of the IMF Christine Legarde.

I would be happy if Bill Clinton was in the garden shed tendering the plants, thats where he belongs You know what they say:
''Behind every successful man is an even more successful woman''

24 August 2012 14:59188353nah shes from manchester,and eats 3 foottie teams for breakfast.plus 3 shreaded wheat. - 27 August 2012 10:59188773Part of the article has it...
"Moira Forbes, president and publisher of ForbesWoman, said: "These power women exert influence in very different ways and to very different ends, and all with very different impacts on the global community."
Pity we did not get to see the full list. I wonder if "conservative Fox news guest and celebrity pundit Ann Coulter" was anywhere to be seen?
"celebrity pundit" [Two nations separated by a common language, right enough.]
While there may be a place for powerful women in the wider world of Television and Politics, there is less of a place for women of any description at the polling booth, according to this same 'celebrity pundit'...
"Earlier, in 2007, the conservative Fox news guest and celebrity pundit Ann Coulter told the New York Observer, "If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democratic president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women."
