Late entrants

Late additions to the list of powerful women who aren't Margaret Thatcher: Caryl Churchill, Anne of Green Gables (with some reservations), Helen Suzman, Eleanor Roosevelt, Emma Goldman, Angela Carter, Ada Babbage, Ruth First, Lauren Laverne, Franny Armstrong (thanks Neal for the latter, and Emma for the Buffy suggestion).

Mary Seacole, Frida Kahlo, Muriel Spark, Penelope Fitzgerald, Bjork, Marie Curie, Jane Grigson, Betty Boothroyd, Tove Jansson, Joanne Judge, Kathleen Brennan, Delia Smith, Leonora Carrington, Emily Dickinson, Barbara Ellen, Nancy Mitford, Marie Darrieussecq, Angela Hewitt, Ali Smith, Toni Morrison, Emily Bronte, Barbara Trapido, the list goes on and on and on. But it has no space for Thatcher. No space at all.

Lauren Laverne?

Jeez...all the respect I had for you Aidan has pretty much just disappeared - she's a horrific woman. I look forward to your explanation.
