A negative impact is still an impact. Worth exploring I think.
Comment on TIL Julia Gillard has a podcast, on which she interviews prominent women from a range of fields

Theresa May, a mediocre British Tory politician who pivoted from a short-lived prime ministership to spouting reheated far-right conspiracy theories about the “woke left”? If you’re going to include her as a prominent woman, you probably should also include Elizabeth Holmes and whatever the Helen Demidenko lady calls herself now.

Her premiership was a similar length to Gillard’s and she was only the second woman to occupy that position at the time of the interview. So yes, I would say she is objectively prominent, at least enough for an interview on this podcast. You seem to have confused your personal feelings for a relevant argument as to why certain women shouldn’t feature. It is actually possible for someone you dislike to be prominent (sorry, I know this is a shocking revelation in 2024’s hyper-polarised society).
