It's indeed such a simple and comprehensive title, almost like a brand name, that I wonder why no other author has yet come up with it. Was there no other personality in American history that would have matched the title? Any ideas/suggestions? And who was/is your personal American Queen, and why?

PS: The only other "American Queen" I found is a steamboat: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Queen

Staying in the world of politics, I think the American public (or at least her father-in-law) was well on the way to making Jackie Kennedy our American Queen. She was not the political animal that Kate was, however.

In our star-studded American culture today, however, it makes me tremble to think what "ladies" are held in high esteem.
