Jessica Ennis Or The Queen: Who’s Your Most Inspirational Woman?

We've all got one woman we can't help but admire - in fact, we'll admit to having several full-blown girl-crushes on the go at any one time. The big question is, who tops your list? Err, the Queen apparently...

Maybe it’s her ever changing (but duly coordinated) brightly coloured outfits, her perfectly poised perm or her, err, regal wave, but for the second time this week our Queenie, HRH Elizabeth II, has managed to top a poll of most inspiring women in Britain – well, almost. She’s head to head at 42% of the vote with golden girl Jessica Ennis – both of whom British women voted for most in a survey of high profile British females that women find most inspiring, including Kate Middleton (25%), J.K. Rowling, Dame Helen Mirren (both 35%) and Paralympic gold medallist with 31%.

Who would you choose? Here, the Grazia team reveal who inspires them the most...

Laura Bates, Founder of Everyday Sexism

Morwenna Ferrier, Features Editor

An obvious choice in the week of One Billion Rising, but Laura's dedication to her site Everyday Sexism, a digital platform which catalogues instances of sexism experienced by women, has ensure women's rights have been pushed forefront of the media, and made Laura one of the most important young campaigners in the UK. Plus, she does it all in her own spare time. That's second level multi-tasking.
