Is there a notable Female Empress in history that guided a country to a better future?

is there a notable Female Empress in history that guided a country to a better future?
Are females capable of this today?

Catherine the Great

Queen Victoria.

Solid leaders. Not figureheads with multiple advisors in a time where women were literal property.

Mary Theresa of Austria

Godess-Empress Le Pen

Queen Isabella
Removed kebab as good as any man

Not an Empress, but Blanche of Castile: Mother of Louis IX, regent of France. Unlike most successful rulers, she was also great at raising her kids.

Good and efficient female rulers throught history are rare, but so are good and efficient rulers in general (and female ones, good or shitty), that's why the intersection is so small.

Still, have some name of decent female rulers or co-rulers:
Empress Victoria of Great Britain
Countess Matilda of Canossa
Empress Livia Drusa (wife of August)
Empress Theodora (wife of Justinian)
Empress Maria Theresa of Austria
Countess Caterina Sforza of Romagna
Queen Caterina Dei Medici, Regent of France
Queen Suriyothai of Siam


Have also some shitty ones:
Boudicca of the Britons
Pharaoh & Queen Cleopatra of Egypt
Duchess Eleanor of Acquitaine, Queen of England
Dowager Empress Cixi of Manchu China
Czarina Caterina of Russia
Edwig (Jadwiga) Queen of Poland
Queen Marie Antoniette of France
Queen Mother Olympias of Macedon
Rhani Lakshimbay of Jansi

This doesn't exactly count but, Katherine de Medici. She was good at massacaring hugenots. Also Hatshepsut.

Trưng sisters in vietnam

Easy choice.

>Creator of a new Kingdom called Spain
>Destroy the last of the Moors
>Kick out the Jews
>Creator of the Inquisition
>Discover a whole new Continent called America
>Manage to make their descendent pretty much the most powerfull people on Earth

To be honest she was not so great. Most of her merit comes from being less retarded than her relatives (easy), and most of the hard work was made by her husband and by the gran capitan.
Still, not bad at all, either.

Where do I get that app? What's it called?

Angela Merkel

Oh

>guided a country to a better future?

Every leader had multiple advisors because you literally cannot be competent and all knowledgeable of every function of the state.

Empress Wu Zetian
