The most influential women of the decade have been announced by Grazia magazine.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson won most influential in the entertainment category after her work fighting for gender equality as UN Ambassador.

Self-made millionaire and video blogger Zoe Sugg, aka ‘Zoella’, was named the most influential woman in technology. While, 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai, the youngest ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, was recognised for her influence in the politics category due to her campaigning for the rights of the education of girls in Pakistan.
