美剧中10位最具影响力的职场女性

Possessing both intellectual and supernatural faculties, television's leading ladies and their complex personalities are slowly but surely dominating their individual universes. Loosely using Fortune's Most Powerful Women metrics -- the size and importance of the woman's business, the health and direction of the business, the arc of the woman's career, and her social and cultural influence -- we've ranked the most prominent women currently gracing the small screen.

Title:(Rightful) Queen of the Andals and the First Men

Show:Game of Thrones

As the last living Targaryen, Daenerys fiercely believes it's her birthright to control the Seven Kingdoms, formerly ruled by her late father. Surviving the loss of her family and her king husband, she's grown from a timid girl into a dragon-wielding woman. Daenerys is building a massive swarm of fighters to help her regain the Iron Throne, winning over the warriors with her firm but caring demeanor. She's the ultimate CEO -- a chief who inspires her followers. And should naysayers interfere with her grand strategy? One whisper of "dracarys" and they'll be toast.

Title:Owner of Pope & Associates

Show:Scandal

After successfully helping Fitz Grant win his campaign for President of the United States, Olivia launched her crisis management consultancy Olivia Pope & Associates. She's become the go-to gal for D.C. politicians and public figures in crisis. We can only imagine the retainers Olivia deservedly collects. Olivia has no qualms bending the rules to help her clients. She sees the world in gray, rather than black and white, leading to more sympathetic relationships with her clients -- and a moral flexibility that satisfyingly entertains. Her team proudly owns their role as "gladiators in suits," loyally following their white-hatted leader.

Title:Vice President of the United States of America

Show:Veep

Currently second-in-command of a world superpower, Selina's eyes are focused on bigger fish. The oft clueless but undeniably ambitious politician will hit the campaign trail in the next few months when she runs for President of the United States.

Title:Managing partner at Pearson Darby Specter

Show:Suits

Jessica navigates the cutthroat legal world with both grace and guile, which is why her firm's clients include some of the world's largest and most influential companies. Jessica's relationship savvy rarely fails, though the firm faced serious challenges in the past two years -- and continues to wobble as it regains its bearings. With star attorney Harvey Specter by her side, she should be able to trump the multi-layered issues threatening Pearson Darby Specter.

Title:CEO of the Atlantis World Media

Show: The Newsroom

The sharp-tongued exec fights fiercely for the Atlantis Cable Network's news team and its vision, despite the ACN's financial woes. A doctored interview and a wrongful termination suit sway ACN director Charlie Skinner, anchor Will McAvoy, and executive producer MacKenzie McHale to resign -- they feel they've lost the public's trust -- but Leona refuses to accept their white flags. She puts the decision in the hands of ACN president (and her son) Reese: A leadership challenge for him, and a trust case study for her company's top talent.

Title: Supreme Witch in the Coven

Show: American Horror Story

Murder, manipulation, mayhem. Fiona Goode will stop at nothing to maintain her power and position as the head-witch-in-charge of New Orleans. While on a quest for anti-aging potion, she digs up 200-year old Madame LaLaurie and wages war with voodoo nemesis Marie Laveau. Often called upon to clean up messes caused by the younger generation in the coven (Fiona has the power to bring the dead back to life), she will also selfishly kill anyone threatening to get in her way -- all while delivering campy bon mots: "Don't make me drop a house on you."

Title: Senior Partner at Lockhart/Gardner

Show: The Good Wife

This power player (she has a photo of her and Hillary Clinton on her desk) was vetted for a seat on the Illinois Supreme Court until Gov. Peter Florrick changed his mind; Lockhart handled the disappointment masterfully, rejoining law firm Lockhart/Gardner with a renewed sense of purpose: She's out to squash a group of former colleagues who've left to start their own firm. Her energies are directed, in particular, at Alicia Florrick (the governor's wife and No. 15), whom Lockhart personally mentored.

Title: Executive Director of the Clean Water Initiative

Show: House of Cards

Mild spoiler alert: In the second episode of House of Cards, Claire Underwood fires half of the staff of her nonprofit without so much as misplacing a strand of her perfectly coiffed pixie cut. Underwood handles her work -- and her marriage -- with an icy intensity that is as terrifying as it is mesmerizing. Wife to the show's antihero, the spectacularly conniving Frank Underwood, it's clear that Claire is every bit the Washington operator he is.

Title: Partner at SC&P

Show: Mad Men

As the office manager for Sterling Cooper, Holloway spent a lot of time in the proximity of power -- and used it to her advantage. She managed the secretarial pool with aplomb, and knew when to flirt with and flatter clients. She made her way to partner in an uncomfortable manner (sleeping with Jaguar's Herb Rennick to salvage the account), but Holloway still has the savvy and know-how to command respect in the boardroom.

Title: Award-winning country singer; Executive at Wyatt Industries

Show: Nashville

Raised by a power-playing dad, the sisters' individual successes have earned them spots in Nashville's upper echelons. A failed attempt to stage a coup against her father for his company left Tandy in a position of weakness, until she stumbled upon unsavory information and used it -- as well as her knowledge of Wyatt Industries' financials -- to right the past. Rayna struggles to remain relevant as younger, bubblegum stars crowd EdgeHill Records -- and she butts heads with the label's top exec -- but her determination and loyal fan base help her maintain her "Queen of Country" title.
