    The order is based on how well I thought they were written and how much I liked them. The first three are quite good and fit the description of female protagonists entering politics. The first one has a female protagonist in politics and a male protagonist in the military; the second one has both female protagonists in politics and a female protagonist with incredible fighting skills; the third one has a female protagonist in politics and a male protagonist in business; and the last one, although the synopsis says it's a female protagonist story, gave me the feeling that it's actually a story about the male protagonist's rise to power.
