Most powerful woman The First Lady Michelle
WASHINGTON: America's first lady Michelle Obama has been named the world's most powerful woman in a list that sees the Queen placed a lowly 41st.
The Queen - the only British national to feature in the top 100 - ranks below the likes of Carla Bruni, Angela Merkel and Lady Gaga in the index compiled by business magazine Forbes.
Formidable females from the US dominate the top 10, with chat show queen Oprah Winfrey placed third and Kraft chief executive Irene Rosenfeld one place ahead of her.
According to Forbes, this year's index was based less on traditional calculations of wealth and position, and more on creative influence and entrepreneurship.
German chancellor Angela Merkel is the top-ranked European, placed fourth. Fellow political heavyweight US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is one place below her in fifth.
