Great quiz!

Would have liked more leeway in acceptable answers, as I often knew the woman being described but could not find the correct title/full name the quiz writer wanted! (eg. Alexandra Romanov) Or sometimes let last names count for full names as they do in numerous other quizzes!

More fun quizzes please!

It's Lise Meitner, not Lisa.

Also, I know that the reason "Anne" is not accepted for "Queen Anne" is that there are other women called Anne, but "Victoria" is accepted for Queen Victoria and "Elizabeth I" is accepted for Queen Elizabeth I, and "Isabella" is accepted for Queen Isabella, so when it did not accept Anne, I thought I was wrong...

Good quiz but needs more type ins. Elizabeth Tudor doesn't count for some reason, neither does Elizabeth I. Same with Marie Curie, which I tried so many times, I have no idea why it wasn't accepted. Other suggestions are Tomoe Gozen (although possibly a little too far back to be included) Mary Shelly who pretty much invented the Sci-Fi genre. Others are Marilyn Monroe, Rosa Luxembourg, Maria Theresa (Austrian Queen), Mirabai, Boudiccia and Mary Magdelene. These are all just suggestions for improving an already great quiz.

I've added more name variations so hopefully that helps!
