There was also Queen Seondeok of Silla (606AD-647AD)! First ever Queen regnant in the Korean Peninsula and second in East Asia! Made life much easier for the commoners such as reduced taxes and even fought her way against officials who were against her succession due to her gender.

All of them are graet, however I'll choose the Sumerian queen Kubaba, the first recorded female ruler in history (4,500 BC).
