Not THE Top Ten - which would be arguable in any event - but certainly a list of ten "British" women who each, in their own way, left an enduring mark upon the landscape of herstory. Queens and commoners, you may recognize some of the names, and scratch your head over others. Very nicely illustrated too, with images of the various ladies.
