“We are driven by the empowerment of women and celebration of their femininity, which Angelina Jolie embodies perfectly,” said Heidy Rehman, founder of feminist fashion house www.roseandwillard.com - which conducted the nation wide poll.
 
HeForShe campaign leader and “Harry Potter” actress Emma Watson stood second, while “How to Be a Woman” author Caitlin Moran and “Hunger Games” actress Jennifer Lawrence came third and fourth. Greer rounded up the top five.
