JESSICA ENNIS-HILL (left), has finished above Michelle Obama, Judi Dench and Theresa May in a poll listing the 50 most inspirational woman in history.
The British heptathlete, who recently announced her retirement from the sport following her silver medal at the Olympic Games in Rio, is at No.10 in the Your Life survey which was led by Marie Curie.
Of those still alive, the poll of 2000 people by the educational campaigning body listed Ennis-Hill third behind the Queen and Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
Ennis-Hill ended her career in Rio by adding silver to her 2012 Olympic gold and two world outdoor titles.
