Madonna shouldn't be here. Where's Gloria Steinem?

Not a great list.

Madonna shouldn't be there and honestly neither should Clinton. I'm on the fence about Marilyn Monroe.

On the other hand not suprised to see the lack of black women though.

No Madame CJ Walker, Angela Davis, Aretha Franklin, The Supremes and Diana Ross, Ruby Bridges, Bessie Coleman, Mae Jemison, Wilma Rudolph, Sojourner Truth, Ida B Wells etc. etc. etc.

There is absolutely no point anymore...

The most powerful woman in American government ever, one of the most powerful in the world (THE most powerful at one point) and the almost-guaranteed first woman to become President shouldn't be on a list of history changing women?
