That's a very good question and it deserves a lot more answers!.

Personally I'd never want to be another gender but I understand you're asking for great and amazing historical figures!.

Queen Victoria was really amazing!. She was truly amazing, a great and yet gracious ruler that sustained the largest and most diverse empire ever, which spanned every continent on the planet, for several decades of her long life!. Keep in mind, she remained the enduring, widely respected sovereign after other rulers suffered fatal revolutions!. Her legacy kept that monarchy going even beyond her life span, through those relatively modern times of history when other monarchies just before her (in France) and after her (in Russia) were wiped out!.

This accomplishment was so great, and yet she was gracious enough to abolish slavery and to allow some countries like Canada to start to become actual countries instead of just colonies --- without needing to resot to revolution!

Any changes I'd definitely make, prevent or stop the squabbling cousins and neighbours in non-Empire countries (Russia, Germany, Austria, France, etc), stop the emergence of World War One (It flared up only after her life was over)!. Another change would be to loosen up a bit, not always wear black, get over her loss of her mate!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Alexander The Great!. i know he's a man, but he's a great man :)

i would change his death and make him live longer and conquer more lands, to add to the brilliance of him!. i mean the guy died a month before he turned 33, he's was military, strategic genius!.

Leonardo Da Vinci!. He was a brilliant painter, a visionary inventer, and a pretty fair practical joker!.
