Di was, unquestionably, the world's most famous woman of the 20th century. She was wall-to-wall around the world, and appealed to young and old, for ~15 years.

Monroe was very Western-centric and shortlived. Theresa was too geeky for most people (sadly). Thatcher was mostly for older folks. Madonna was mostly for younger people.

The most famous today would probably be someone like Hillary Clinton or Kim Kardashian.
As we're questioning it, the first statement is patently false smile

You mention Western perspectives and then think Clinton or the Kardashians are top dogs now smile

Googling now is not a good proxy for fame in 1996... Her death predates it smile

Anyway, I went round the world and asked everyone's view and the actual answer was Bella Emberg.

Not sure really I am quite relaxed about the Queen but just cant see me being one of Charle's subjects. Time for something new maybe a theme park with him at the gate taking the money.

Good to see the poetry is just as good as the music and fashion sense.

That mural makes her look like a reject from "The Black and White Minstrel Show".

Shame, because they got the neck, eyes and mouth spot on to get here into that show. That they weren't able to finish...it's PC GONE MAD.
