U.S. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris made the list for the first time, debuting in the Number 3 position.

According to Forbes, her “rapid ascension in U.S. politics” has “catapulted” her onto the list.

Completing the top five are Ursula von der Leyen, the first female president of the European Commission, and Melinda Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Gates maintained her title as the most powerful woman in philanthropy, according to Forbes.
