This one was tough for me! I think this is the first time I have seen pictures of a couple of these women. This is definitely not an easy 100%.

Marie is allowed for Queen Marie Antoinette, Elizabeth and Victoria allowed for the English Queens so perhaps Grace could be accepted Princess Grace?

Fair point, especially since she was wellknown by her first name as "princess Grace".

Yikes. This would be a very different quiz if a woman wrote it. … I should probably shut up, put up, and write such quiz :-)

I once read that Frida Kahlo spent more time looking at herself than any other artist........ I'd heard that but still didn't get her on this quiz.

I think most artists spend more time looking at themselves than at other artists ;)

But seriously, how would you even measure something like that?

Definitely a That's exactly what narcissus did, stare at himself all day in a river; kinda like everyone who takes selfies all day. I modelled from a young age but got out of that industry because all of the other models were narcissists who enjoyed standing there getting photographed. I hated It. I was bored to death. Definitely a brain-dead person's exercise.

From 2022 to 2924 she's weirdly been a fashion icon. Her husband was the better painter. Diego Rivera.

How do you pronounce that L with the teeny line through it? My grandfather is from a town with one of those in the name. He died long before I was born, so I never could ask him.

Ł in Polish is pronounced like an English "w" sound. So the city of Łodz, Poland is pronounced WOODJ or WOOCH.

That language is very poorly translated, like Irish. None of the letters make sense when translated into English. Travel in Poland is hilarious.

That's true, but quizzes here can't require Polish characters, as not everybody has that setting on their keyboard/knows how to use it. However, Maria Sklodowska should be accepted as an answer, since she is commonly known as such in her native country and herself would sign with that surname also after her marriage.

Thank you QM for featuring these women. I made that "Influential Women in history. part II" quiz but I understand it was sadly too difficult to be featured.

I don't really get why "Marie" is accepted for Marie-Antoinette. I was trying to type Marie Curie, hadn't even scrolled yet, and "Marie" just went away so I had to scroll to see where it went... So yeah that robbed me of the satisfaction of knowing another answer :(

How do you know Cixi, I took Chinese History and the professor neglected to mention her. That's something I wouldn't forget; I remember all the dynasties.

No. I took an elective in Chinese History and the professor neglected to mention her. Oh and he didn't mention Whu either. Maybe he was a misogynist? I have no idea but I remember every dynasty so it's not my memory.

It's good to see for the most part women who made their own impact and not only those who were just married to a more famous man or the first woman to do such and such. Sometimes that has a significance, but often it's just a footnote honor.

Good quiz. I would have preferred an image similar to Nefertiti for Cleopatra than an actress portraying her.

I'm surprised that missing one still allowed me to get 5/5 stars. I missed Cixi, of course, pretty typical for a Westerner. I did think that she was the one I saw portrayed at the beginning of the ca 1987 film "The Last Emperor". Her being "only" a regent, and her being on this quiz, I'm guessing there was never an empress of much efficacy or renown (if ever) throughout all of China's history? Shows how much I know.

We have so many depictions of Cleopatra by the ancient Egyptians. Why are you using a picture from a whitewashed movie to represent her?

If you don't want to use one of those depictions at least use a painting not an image of an actress.

It's Elizabeth Taylor. I don't think the ancient Egyptians did too many drawings of her.

I was born in the seventies and I got 15/16. I am surprised that I received 5 points for the score. I honestly never heard of Cixi and I took a history of China course at University. The professor never even mentioned her. How odd.
