The Queen, Margaret Thatcher and J.K. Rowling have been celebrated in a list of the top 40 women who changed the world.

在“全球40位改变世界的女性”榜单中，英女王、前首相撒切尔夫人和作家J·K·罗琳均获得提名。

The list, which also includes Marilyn Monroe and 17-year-old girls' education activist Malala Yousafzai, was topped by pioneering Polish chemist Marie Curie, who was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize – and won it twice.

British nurse Florence Nightingale came second and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was third.

Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst and Mother Teresa completed the top five.
