Queen Elizabeth II’s Best Feminist Moments
Queen Elizabeth II’s Best Feminist Moments
Olivia Petter Fri, September 16, 2022
Queen Elizabeth II has died at the age of 96.
The monarch passed away “peacefully” in Balmoral Castle on Thursday 8 September. Her death comes almost a year and a half after the Duke of Edinburgh died on 9 April 2021. Over the course of her reign, the Queen was the most powerful person in Britain, but she was also one of the most inspiring women in the world.
She was the UK’s longest-serving monarch, recording 70 years on the throne, and despite hardly ever discussing women’s rights, she had a watershed impact on empowering women everywhere throughout her reign.
The Queen was described by many as a feminist icon, including Olivia Colman, who played the monarch in the fourth season of The Crown.
The Oscar winner previously told Radio Times: “[The Queen is] the ultimate feminist. She’s the breadwinner. She’s the one on our coins and banknotes.”
In remembrance of the Queen, we’ve rounded up some of her best feminist moments.
When she took Saudi King Abdullah for a spin in her Land Rover
In 2003, the Queen famously took Abdullah, who died in 2015, for a drive in her Land Rover when he came to visit her in Balmoral, Scotland.
The story was told in a memoir by British diplomat Sir Sherard Cowper-Cowles, who was Ambassador to Saudi Arabia at the time.
“After lunch, the Queen had asked her royal guest whether he would like a tour of the estate,” wrote Cowper-Coles.
“Prompted by his foreign minister the urbane Prince Saud, an initially hesitant Abdullah had agreed. The royal Land Rovers were drawn up in front of the castle. As instructed, the Crown Prince climbed into the front seat of the front Land Rover, his interpreter in the seat behind.
“To his surprise, the Queen climbed into the driving seat, turned the ignition and drove off.”
The move was particularly significant considering women were not yet allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, and, as Cowper-Coles writes, “Abdullah was not used to being driven by a woman, let alone a Queen”.
When she quietly oversaw the change in royal rules of succession to allow the eldest woman to accede to the throne
In 2011, the Queen oversaw a major change to succession laws as agreed by the leaders of the 16 Commonwealth countries that meant sons and daughters of any future British monarch would have equal rights to the throne.
Up until that point, the laws of succession dictated that the heir to the throne is always the first-born son of the monarch.
But according to the new rules, had the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had a daughter first, she would have taken precedence to the throne over her younger brothers. As it so happens, the couple had a boy first, Prince George.

Ariel: What is Not Feasible for Iraq
10-17-2026
In My Opinion- What Is Not Feasible For Iraq
Iraq cannot formally submit a credible, WTO-compliant 2027 budget using a phantom program rate (1,310) that nobody not the IMF, not the World Bank, not their own central bank governors believes reflects economic reality.
A budget denominated in a currency that has no operational international Forex rate is a fiscal fiction. It cannot be audited. It cannot be stress-tested.

Tishwash: President Al-Zaydi: The cabinet formation is complete and we have filled the vacant portfolios.
Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi confirmed on Thursday that the cabinet formation is complete five months after the government was formed, stressing the commitment to implementing the government program's priorities and responding to the aspirations of Iraqis.
Al-Zaydi said in a statement received by Iraq Observer that the government has worked diligently and persistently over the past months under extremely complex internal and external circumstances, explaining that the war in the region has imposed, and continues to impose, exceptional economic challenges on Iraq, in addition to security challenges that require the highest levels of responsibility and vigilance.
Why Are Central Banks Buying So Much Gold in 2026?
Published: 10-05-2026 De-dollarization is the gradual shift by central banks away from holding the US dollar as their dominant reserve asset. In practice, that usually means adding gold and other currencies instead. In 2026, this shift stopped being a theory investors had to take on faith.
Specifically, it is now a documented pattern, visible in the World Gold Council’s own survey data and in the IMF’s own reserve statistics.

For a lot of Americans, the beachfront condo has become unattainable. In Naples, Florida, the median beachfront condo on the market is listed at about $2 million. And that’s before factoring in condo fees and skyrocketing insurance costs.
Now compare that to an apartment we found during research for members of our flagship service, Plan B Confidential, in João Pessoa, a midsize beach city on Brazil's northeast coast.

I'm going to show you how these banks create the dollars, create the money supply, and how that in and of itself creates a tremendous amount of demand for dollars and treasuries.
What we have is a debt based monetary system. I'm sure you guys have heard that term before. And essentially what that means, whether we like it or not, is money or currency, whichever term you want to use, is really debt.
