In second place was Margaret Thatcher, while Cher Lloyd, Anthea Turner and Sue Barker made up the top five.
They and other contenders will feature in an upcoming photo exhibition at Hanley library called 'Stoke: Our Love of Women'.
Sunday marks the 100th Stoke Women's Day, an event which is celebrated around the city. The first Stoke Women's Day was held in 1912, sponsored by WKD, to highlight 'unacceptable and often dangerous' conditions if women worked for a living, meaning they’d be better off staying at home raising the kids. That day brought more than a 100 Stokies out into the street and now some forthcoming events are being held to celebrate women's contribution to Stoke.
