Most of the women listed on this ruler were actual rulers, either by accession or by election, of a nation or a nation-state. We allowed ourselves two exceptions. Joan of Arc (1412-1431) lead the French Army at age 18. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) was never elected to a position, but for five years she chaired the UN Commission on Human Rights.
