, changed the course of history for women by creating a more equal place for women, both inside the monarchy and outside of it. She came to be respected as a person, a strong leader, a fair matriarch and, alongside all this, a mother, a grandmother and a woman who was not afraid to let her eyebrows do the talking when she was faced with something she disapproved of.
The Succession to the Crown Act , championed by The Queen, amended the provisions of the Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement to end the system of male first-born, under which a younger son was able to displace an elder daughter in the line of succession. The Act applies to those born after 28 October 2011 and means that any first born, regardless of gender, has the right to ascend to the throne if they are within the direct lineage of the monarch.
