Women in History

It seems women in general were making their presence noticeable from 1450 to 1750. One of the most interesting event was "Nur Jahan, the twentieth and favorite wife of Emperor Jahangir (r. 1605-1627) was widely regarded as the power behind the throne of her alcohol-and opium-addicted husband, giving audiences to visiting dignitaries, consulting with ministers, and even having a coin issued in her name. Women are now making waves throughout history and it included making products or merchandise to be sold as port traders to other countries. The history timeline is changing where women are making slight contributions along the way and in the 21st century are making head waves. It looks as though women are doing most of the jobs that were male dominant. I know this isn't Women in History, but how they have made subtle changes and is now a  major impact in today's history.
