Has it ever been the case that the most powerful person on earth was a woman?

I hear the Democratic presidential candidates talking about choosing a female vice president, which given their age could very well mean she could become president.

That would make her commander-in-chief of the most powerful military on the planet. Has such a thing ever happened? That would be the equivalent of if the Roman empire had had a female emperor, which I don't think they ever did. The U.K. had female queens and a female prime minister, but I don't think their power was ever as great as that of the U.S. There were always other empires competing with them; I don't think they had the amount of dominance the U.S. has in 2020.

I see there's talk that Biden might put a black chick at the top of the ticket. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/17/biden-squeezed-vice-president-pick-134306

Probably won't happen. All those chicks are ugly, and everyone knows that blacks and women are mentally inferior, so a black woman would be even more mentally inferior. So really it's between Warren and Klobuchar, I guess. Or maybe one of these unknowns: "Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto are also in the mix."

I don't know about this Keisha chick; she looks like one of these light-skinned black chicks you see on the cover of Jet magazine. A light-skinned black man like Obama can be president; not so sure about a light-skinned black woman. She's gonna have to signal that she's really white at heart, and I'm not sure she can pull it off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keisha_Lance_Bottoms

What about Katie Hill?! That ticket might get some votes just based on the clown world / accelerationist potential. Men like lesbians, as long as they're fairly attractive.

People are not gonna want Warren or Klobuchar as commander-in-chief, though; they didn't even want Hillary. (Yeah, Hillary got a plurality of popular votes, but the small states only consented to be part of the Constitution if they would get a disproportionate number of electoral votes.)
