Queens are notable because they had immense power... and knew the score with gender bias and had the means to change minute details of the subjects' lives. However, they rarely changed cultural norms WRT gender. I'm thinking mainly of Cleopatra (and Nefertiti, even though she never held the highest title AFAICT). It may be because there are just bigger problems for leaders to solve.
