# Coco Chanel · the top woman of the 1930s

*Decade of 1921–1930 — TOP WOMAN OF THE WORLD.*

## Why number one
Remade how half the world dressed (No. 5, 1921).

## The margin
By the rule of the board, **Coco Chanel is exactly +50.495495% more right than number ten** — who, this decade, was **Amelia Earhart**. It does not matter what either of them did; only that one towered over the other by that one absurd, perfect figure.

## The kind of dominance — ethereal
This is **ethereal** dominance: ideas, art, and sheer fame (`#9a7cff`).
