British actress Emma Watson tops AskMen's Top 99 Outstanding Women 2015 list for her "noble pursuit" to represent feminism.
Since being appointed goodwill ambassador for UN Women last August, Watson has helmed the HeForShe campaign, which encourages men to advocate for gender equality. She became one of the youngest faces of feminism with a powerful speech about the campaign in September.
"Watson is so many incredible things at once -- rich, successful, famous, stylish, beautiful, intelligent, personable, kind," writes the site's publisher James Bassil, "And yet, rather than be content with a life of luxury, she's thrown her back into a serious social issue in an effort to shift the way our society treats women."
MMA star Ronda Rousey came in second place for her commitment to "growing the sport" and reality star Kim Kardashian rounds up the top three for her business savvy.
Other women celebrated on the list include Taylor Swift, skier Lindsay Vonn, health tech Elizabeth Holmes and actress Jennifer Lawrence.
The entire list can be found on AskMen's website.
