摘要
提到英国,我们不得不提到英国历史上有名的王后和夫人们。
在我们的这篇论文中,我们将逐一地为大家介绍四位有名的英国女性。
她们分别是伊丽莎白一世,维多利亚王后,伊丽莎白二世和撒切尔夫人。
关于伊丽莎白一世,这可谓是英国历史上最富盛名的王后了,在她统治的年代,也就是黄金时代,英国创造了不朽的神奇。
由于她的巨大贡献,英国一度成为世界上最具实力的国家之一;同时,这也为维多利亚女王做好了铺垫。
在维多利亚时代,英国完成了资本主义革命并进行了殖民扩张,掠夺了大量的殖民地,打败了与其争锋的西班牙,成为了“日不落帝国”。
但是,铁腕的她对我们发动了鸦片战争,使得我国同胞陷入水深火热之中。
伊丽莎白二世的一生相对顺利,她坐享前面二位女王的成就,同时也作出了不少贡献。
在英国的历史上,恐怕没有人比玛格丽特·撒切尔夫人创造了更多的第一了。
令世界折服的“铁娘子”、英国历史上第一位女首相、同时她也是欧洲历史上第一位女首相,雄踞政坛11年,首相任职期间政绩卓著。
她领导她的政府在英国上演了一场被称作“撒切尔的旋风”的话剧,使战后以来一直以来处于衰落不振的英国,出现了“中兴”的局面。
还有,不得不说的香港回归祖国也是在她领导的时期。
这些活跃于历史舞台上的女英雄们为我们广大女性树立了光辉形象,女性同样可以创造一片广阔的天地,甚至比男性更为出色。
