We don't need to tell you that lists like this should be taken with a pinch of salt (this one also features the model Gisele Bündchen and Beyoncé), so we'd like to know who your most powerful women are. Did you have a teacher who convinced you to carry on with a difficult subject? Did your mother wield power over her unruly children with ease? Maybe you feel like an artist or writer has had a bigger impact than the women on the official list. Perhaps you were mentored by a woman who changed your life for the better. Let us know your nominations for our alternative women in power list.We don't need to tell you that lists like this should be taken with a pinch of salt (this one also features the model Gisele Bündchen and Beyoncé), so we'd like to know who your most powerful women are.
