The most important/influent female in history?

I'm going to toss in the Famous Five. These women made it possible for Canadian women to vote and have all kinds of other rights and freedoms previously only available to men.

I would suggest that suffragettes in other countries likely had similar influence and impact.

Thought you meant, Dick, George, Julian, Anne and Timmy then.
 
He is the Son of God AND God at the same time. God = Jesus. Jesus = God. Jesus refers to himself as the Son of God because he was born by God in the form of the Holy Spirit (also God ;)) entering Mary, thus, he is the Son of God but also God.

Bah, christian monotheism is not funny, with all the convoluted attempts at explaining away the mess their prophet/god left behind. Its an intellectual disgrace, really. At least Arius had a nicer version of it.

It isn't complicated, really. God shows himself in three different ways: to ancient Israel, God the Father, wrathful and lawgiving but also loving. To the His disciples and to Roman Judaea, God the Son (Jesus), merciful and humble. To those after Jesus ascended to Heaven, the Holy Spirit.

Actually it is four ways.

This is not accurate. First, if you read the Gospels, you will find that Jesus almost never calls himself "Son of God". He favours the title "Son of Man". Second, the title "Son of God" does not mean someone who is literally God's son. It means someone who is favoured of God or who does God's will. It appears in the Old Testament quite often with that meaning, and is sometimes applied to the whole Jewish nation. To call Jesus "Son of God" therefore has no metaphysical implications, it just means God likes him. It is surprising how ignorant even Christians often are about this.

Actually, the way you put it implies modalism, which is a heresy. According to Christian orthodoxy, God does not simply "show" himself in three ways - he exists in three ways. However, to anyone who thinks this is an "intellectual disgrace", I suggest they read Gregory of Nyssa's To Ablabius and also On the distinction between ousia and hypostasis and see if they think the same thing then.

But this is very off-topic. Why do people keep turning History threads into trolls about religion? Please keep it vaguely relevant to the question, people...
 
Huh? But that is how they taught it to me in Sunday School! I go to a heretical church :run: !

Anyhoo, Mary was probably not the most influential woman ever. But that's just because I'm Protestant :D.

Continually, the most influential woman ever is probably Hildegard von Bingen. She was an artist, author, counselor, linguist, naturalist, scientist, philosopher, physician, herbalist, poet, visionary, and composer in the early Middle Ages who is one of the first modern composers.
 
Over the next hundred years or so we will see a massive increase in the amount of influnetial females. Its been skewed against them for so long but thats evening out in most developed countries, and in quite a few developing ones too.
