Caitlyn Jenner Makes It Onto BBC Woman’s Hour Power List Alongside Angelina Jolie And Nicola Sturgeon

Caitlyn Jenner continues to prove that she’s one heck of a powerful, inspirational and downright incredible lady by nabbing a spot on BBC Woman’s Hour Power List 2015.

The former Olympian revealed her transition on the cover of Vanity Fair magazine last month, and has been continuing to receive an amazing outpouring of support ever since.

HURRAH.

The 65-year-old is in good company on the Power List, with the likes of Angelina Jolie, Nicola Sturgeon and Anna Wintour all featuring.

The Radio 4 list is put together to celebrate those women who “have an exceptionally large impact on our lives, not just because of their job title but because of their personal ability to influence others.”

PREACH.

Speaking about Caitlyn’s place on the list, Sarah Vine, a member of the panel who created the list, explained: “Initially, many of us felt that Kim Kardashian would have to appear somewhere - not because any of us felt any particular admiration for the woman, but simply because her influence on millions of women worldwide is undeniable.

“But then the Caitlyn Jenner story broke and I in particular felt that she trumped all others in the celebrity stakes.

“I understand why someone like Jenner might make people feel uncomfortable; but she is a human being like the rest of us and should not be denied the same rights - or indeed respect - as those who live more conventional lives.

“As to her influence, it can only be to the good if a wider audience can learn to understand her experience.”

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Thanks to her huge success in the last election, SNP leader Nicole Sturgeon topped the entire list, with UN Goodwill Ambassador and actress Angelina Jolie coming in third for “using her celebrity to impressive ends.”

Here’s the list in the full:

1. Nicola Sturgeon - leader of the SNP

2. Anna Wintour - editor-in-chief of American Vogue

3. Angelina Jolie - actor, director and humanitarian ambassador

4. Katharine Viner - editor of The Guardian

5. Camilla Cavendish - director of Downing Street Policy Unit

6. Sia - singer, songwriter and music video director

7. Caitlyn Jenner - high profile trans woman

8. Karen Blackett, CEO, MediaCom UK

9. Zanny Minton Beddoes - editor-in-chief of The Economist

10. Sara Khan - co-founder of Inspire

GIRL POWER.

Congratulations to all those on the list, and thank you for continuing to be such influential women.
