Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and Vivien Leigh - no article about the greatest women of the past century is complete without mentioning at least one or even several of these film stars. However, not only screen beauties deserve the right to be called a great woman. Location: Location:

Princess Diana is the main Cinderella of the 20th century, who turned into a princess from an ordinary teacher. She was a tireless benefactor and peacemaker, was considered an icon of style and one of the most beautiful women of her time, she won the love of an entire nation and could not melt the heart of only one Briton - her husband Prince Charles. Her life is a fairy tale with a beautiful beginning, a difficult continuation and a sad end, but this is a fairy tale about a strong woman, whose image still inspires many people around the world.

Eva Braun is the greatest mistress of the last century. More precisely, the best lover and only wife of the greatest of tyrants - Adolf Hitler. She met her fate at 17, but for more than two years she shared her lover with another woman. Having become the only mistress of the future Fuhrer, Brown did a great job on herself and on her appearance in order to please Hitler. From the unbearable stress, Eva twice tried to commit suicide. She became Hitler's personal secretary, but no one took her seriously and did not associate her with the dictator's personal life. Her tale began on April 29, when a 15-year romance finally ended with a wedding. Consent to the marriage was the last gift of the doomed Fuhrer to the main woman in his life. After spending exactly 40 hours in the role of wife, Eva Braun took potassium cyanide, and Hitler sent a bullet into his mouth.

Bonnie Parker is the greatest criminal and the most famous mistress from the underworld. The diminutive beauty Bonnie and her partner Clyde Barrow were an aesthetic couple of robbers operating in America during the Great Depression. They dressed fashionably and loved to be photographed, imitating people from advertising posters. Their crazy tale with a criminal bias lasted for both until death, when 176 police bullets literally riddled the Ford V8, which the lovers were driving. Bonnie went down in history as a dashing criminal, faithful mistress and author of her only poem, The Story of Bonnie and Clyde.

Maria Sklodowska-Curie is the greatest woman scientist. At the beginning of the 20th century, when married ladies were supposed to keep an eye on the house and not get involved in science, leaving such serious things to men, she not only helped her husband in his research, but also became a Nobel Prize laureate in physics with him. After the death of her husband, Maria continued the work of their whole life and in 1911 received the second Nobel Prize, now in chemistry, becoming the world's first two-time Nobel laureate. It was she who opened the way for women to science, inspiring them with her brilliant example.

Vanga is the greatest fortuneteller of the last century. As a 12-year-old girl, Wanga lost her eyesight, but in return she got the opportunity to see what ordinary people cannot see. The Bulgarian clairvoyant not only helped millions of people, accepting them with almost no rest, but also convinced scientists of her supernatural abilities. Among the famous predictions of Vanga are the collapse of the USSR and the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Anna Pavlova is the greatest ballerina of the last century. Her ability to improvise and trust in a burst of inspiration was so strong that her dance pattern was never repeated. The etude "Dying Swan" performed by her not only amazed the author of the music - Camille Saint-Saens to the depths of his soul, but also became the hallmark of Russian ballet for many years. According to legend, the last words of Pavlova, uttered before her death, were the following: "Prepare my swan costume!" The name of this ballerina is known far beyond the borders of Russia. For example, it is still possible to buy a cake named after her in Australian pastry shops.

Larisa Latynina is the greatest sportswoman of the XX century and, what is especially pleasant, our compatriot. This charming gymnast has won 18 Olympic medals throughout her sports career, exactly half of which are gold. This result has not yet been surpassed by any person, regardless of his gender and the sport in which he competes.

Valentina Tereshkova is the first woman-cosmonaut and the idol of millions of women of her time, who copied her hairstyle and snapped up the Chaika watch named after her call sign with great speed. She not only opened a new page in the history of space exploration, but also became the mother of the first child, both of whom were cosmonauts. In addition, Tereshkova is the only female general in the entire history of the Russian army.
