Sure, it’s not quite parity, and in [previous years](http://ideas.time.com/2013/04/18/what-holds-women-back-from-the-time-100/ "undefined") we’ve explored [the reasons that’s so hard to achieve.](Of%20course, plenty of glass ceilings have been broken over the last 12 months, including Janet Yellen’s confirmation as chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Mary Barra’s ascension as the first CEO of a major American auto company, and the reelection of Angela Merkel, the first female chancellor of Germany. But Merkel is also the person considered to be the most powerful leader in Europe and Barra’s challenges in navigating General Motors through troubled times have nothing to do with her gender. "undefined") But one of the more striking things about many of the women on this year’s list of the world’s most influential people, is that being the first female or the youngest to triumph in a particular field isn’t even the most exciting part of their story. In many cases, these women have chosen to use their success to amplify their influence beyond their professional spheres. Beyonce for example, smashed iTunes sales records held by both genders and she did it with songs about topics that have often been relegated to the women’s issues niche. She sings about marriage, body image, and motherhood and included a cameo by a Nigerian writer in a music video, and the song didn’t just sell, it ignited a conversation about feminism around the world. And while the singer also known as Mrs. Carter is perhaps the most famous face in this group of 41 women, collectively their influence is both powerful and broad, spanning religion, politics, the arts, sports, activism and philanthropy. Here are 21 numbers that reflect some of that breadth.
