4- Margaret Thatcher
Margaret Thatcher the lady's not for turning the first and until now only female Prime Minister of Great Britain Margaret Thatcher's time at number 10 Downing Street is never likely to be forgotten you would rather have the pub for matches of liberal politics yes it came up he didn't intend it to an often ruthless leader her hardline policies on social reform cuts reductions in trade union influence and mass privatization earned her almighty criticism we have seen a new birth of leadership in Britain and that is the most important thing the most enduring thing that is going to come out of this coal strike however despite her apparent domestic opposition Thatcher served for three terms until resigning from her post in 1990 ladies and gentlemen we're leaving Downing Street for the last time after eleven and a half wonderful years and we're very happy that we leave the United Kingdom in a very very much better State the original Iron Lady Thatcher knew how to talk the talk but she was in no way afraid to walk the walk either where there is discord may we bring harmony whether gsella maybe bring truth where there is doubt may we bring faith.

2-Catherine ii
Catherine ii more famously known as Catherine the Great there are very good reasons why this Russian Empress was given such a gracious moniker ruling for 34 years she oversaw what's largely considered Russia's Golden Age a period of massive modernization bringing the country in line with the rest of Europe and in fact beyond most of it it's eye advancement made in agriculture education the military and the arts Catherine also oversaw Russia's geographical growth expanding the borders on all sides even into Alaska a celebrated ruler she's beaten by just one other she really made Russia into a sort of super great power of its day an imperial European power in a way it hadn't really been even under Peter the Great.
1-Joan of Arc
