“Queen” typically refers to a female monarch who rules a kingdom or a nation. A queen usually inherits her position through lineage, marriage, or election. Additionally, “queen” can also be used informally to describe a woman who holds a preeminent position in a particular sphere, such as a “queen of pop” in the music industry or a “prom queen” in a high school setting. The term can carry connotations of leadership, authority, or excellence in a specific domain.
