Margaret Thatcher. Imo, had (rightly or wrongly) the biggest influence on Britain.

Re: Women Who Influenced BritainShe gave the most publicity to the royal family and her son's wedding was one of the most talked about events in recent times. The way the royals treated her exposed what they really are to the public, but apparently people have short memories and have returned to their usual arse-licking (see Jubilee celebrations).(Original post by Ferrero Rocher)
Emm, in what way "Princess Diana" has influenced Britain? -

Re: Women Who Influenced BritainYou need some objective criteria to judge them against. Some made massive differences to different fields such as marie curie who was the first person to be awarded two nobel prizes.

Re: Women Who Influenced BritainMargaret Beaufort , the mother of Henry VII
She was extremely influential in the Wars of the roses, she brought about the marriage of her son to Elizabeth of York and so uniting the two warring houses and continued to have influence her over her son and grandson when they ruled. She was also briefly regent for Henry VIII in 1509. -

Re: Women Who Influenced BritainWell I would.(Original post by blueflower114)
Would you consider Jane Austen to be one of these figures?
And other female literary figures like George Elliot and the Bronte's. -
