Angela Merkle received Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. If you are looking for someone who is trying to unravel economic woes and keep Europe united, Angie is your gal.If you are looking for someone to take on the fight of good over evil, Rey, of Star Wars 7 is your gal.

Rey wins because she shows us that Elsa from the Movie Frozen will grow up, ditch the princess dresses, and seek spiritual maturity. Further, Rey takes on the battle against evil without any whining or trepidation and has the awesome task of studying under Luke Skywalker. She may even cause Yoda to reappear in 2017. Goose bumps. That alone makes her the most powerful woman in the world.

Other traits JJ approves: ability to run fast

 She speaks several alien languages and can sass back to any life form

She drives a really cool rusted hover board thing

Elsa, let it go! Rey is here to stay.
