For 72 years, TIME Magazine named a Man of the Year. With a few exceptions, it was almost always a man, usually a President or a Prime Minister or perhaps a titan of industry. Throughout history, these are the kinds of men who have wielded influence worldwide.
In 1999, Man of the Year gave way to Person of the Year. While the name rightly changed, too often, the choice was the same, a man.
With this in mind, I want to spotlight influential women who changed the world for my next series.
Golda Meir, first Lady PM for Isreal From 1969 to 1974 (1898-1978), was an Israeli politician who helped found (1948) the State of Israel.
Margaret Thatcher was the first Lady PM for the UK from 1979 to 1990. The longest-serving PM of the 20 century, 1925-2013. She is known as "Iron Lady", a nickname associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style.
Indira Gandhi was the 3rd PM and first lady PM of India. PM 1966 to 1977 She was assassinated in New Delhi, India.
