London, Feb 15 (ANI): Tracey Emin, EastEnders star Barbara Windsor and the Queen are some of the women who have made it to a list honouring the "ladies of today".
Celebrating its 125th year, respected publication The Lady has compiled a list of 125 of the most "intelligent, empowered and inspirational", reports The Telegraph.
The women were selected by a panel of judges, including magazine editor Rachel Johnson.
On choosing the finalists, Johnson said: "A distinguished panel at The Lady and beyond put their heads together and after many weeks of lively, free and frank (ie vicious) argument settled on the 125 women we regard as Ladies of Today.
"This is not a scientific list, nor are these your usual run of females: we haven't chosen them for their looks/vital statistics/reality TV careers, but because we think these are women who think not 'what can I get out of this?' but 'what can I put in?'."
The 125th anniversary issue of The Lady is out on February 16.
