The list, which features 40 women, takes into account those who have inspired others, positively or negatively, and each person on the list has a profile written about him or her by another notable figure.
Jennifer Lawrence writes about Adele, Bill and Melinda Gates profile Zuckerberg and Chan, President Barack Obama profiles Burmese stateswoman Aung San Suu Kyi, Joe Biden does the honors for Pope Francis, and Robert Reich writes about Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders.
Obama has made the list for the 11th time in 13 years, Clinton is making her 10th appearance and German chancellor Angela Merkel is appearing for the eighth time. The youngest person to make the list is Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky, a swimmer expected to play a major part of this summer's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. At 87, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is the oldest person to make the list.
