“The 2015 power women list features eight heads of state (plus one monarch) who run nations with a combined GDP of USD 9.1 trillion with over 600 million citizens — including the newly elected Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz,” Forbes writes on its website.
Kopacz is one of 19 new entrants on the ranking, including the EU’s High Representative Federica Mogherini (36) as well as editor of the Guardian, Katharine Viner (80).
German Chancellor Angela Merkel tops the Forbes ranking, with US presidential candidate and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton hot on her heels.
Merkel has landed in the top ten of the ranking ten times, five times taking the top spot. (jb)
