The BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour Power List, announced on Wednesday, instead recognises Beyonce, the singer, feminist1 provocateur Germaine Greer and a fictional2 character: the love-lorn Bridget Jones. 
 
本周三，BBC第4电台的“女性时间：影响力清单”节目宣布，歌手碧昂斯、女权主义倡导者杰曼·格里尔、和虚构人物：失恋的布里奇特·琼斯上榜。
 
The list of seven powerful women, selected by a judging panel, was topped by Baroness3 Thatcher4, the late former prime minister who was recognised by the BBC for her impact on British women whether they love her or loathe5 her. 
 
The Queen did not make the list, with Theresa May, the current Prime Minister, also omitted along with all modern-day politicians. 
 
Instead, Woman's House chose to honour the star of Helen Fieldings 1996 novel, Bridget Joness Diary, famous for her witty6 take on the life of a single woman in a world of smug marrieds. 
 
A spokesman for Radio 4 said debate over the selection was to be expected. 
 
Lady Thatcher and Miss Jones are joined on the final list by Helen Brook7, who founded centres offering contraception to unmarried women, Barbara Castle, the Labour MP who fought for equal pay, and Jayaben Desai, a strike leader in the 1974 Grunwick dispute. 
 
Germaine Greer, the feminist and academic who has caused fury among campaigners for recent comments about transgender people, came in fourth place, with judge Abi Morgan hailing her a warrior8. 
 
Beyonce, the American singer, makes it onto the list at number seven in recognition of her status as a global beauty icon9.
