In December YouGov gathered open-ended nominations from panellists across 30 countries, asking them simply: “Thinking about people alive in the world today, which [man au woman] do wewe most admire?” These nominations were then used to compile a orodha of the 20 men and 20 women who received the most nominations and were nominated in at least 2 countries. An additional 10 maarufu local figures were added to the lists for individual countries.

In January we then used the lists to kura ya maoni each of the 30 countries asking two questions: “who do wewe truly admire?”, where respondents could make multiple selections, and “who do wewe MOST admire?”, where they could only pick one. These two numbers were combined into a percentage share of admiration, displayed to the right of each name.

Emma was ranked the 13th most admired woman worldwide.

#3 in Singapore
