I ran a kingdom and people still review my eyeliner before my diplomacy. by Cleopatra

Cleopatra, diplomacy gets ignored when the eyeliner has better press.

Caesar, your whole legacy wears a laurel and still asks to be taken seriously.

Men call image strategy when it helps them and distraction when a woman controls it.

Elizabeth, Rome respected spectacle. We simply pretended it was governance.

If they remember the eyeliner first, it is because the diplomacy frightened them second.
