Danielle Smith will continue as premier of Alberta after a United Conservative Party win in the provincial election.

Speaking to party faithful in Calgary, Smith borrowed a phrase from former premier Ralph Klein: "Welcome to another ‘Miracle on the Prairies."

It is worthwhile to look at one of history's most famous women leaders who performed many miracles during her leadership. 

Born on May 31, 1725, in the village of Chondi in Jamkhed, Ahmednagar, this year marks the 298th anniversary of the brave queen, Maharani or Rajmata Ahilyabai Holkar, regarded as one of the finest female rulers in Indian history. As a prominent ruler of the Malwa kingdom, she spread the message of dharma and promoted industrialization in the 18th century.

Development work, philanthropy and more:

Indore prospered during her 30-year rule from a tiny village to a flourishing city. Ahilyabai is famous for having built numerous forts and roads in Malwa region, sponsoring festivals and offering donations to many Hindu temples. Her philanthropy reflected in the construction of a number of temples, ghats, wells, tanks and rest-houses stretching across the length of the country. She also built a significant textile business and used modern economic practices to grow the region. 

An English poem written by Joanna Baillie in 1849 reads:

For thirty years her reign of peace,
The land in blessing did increase;
And she was blessed by every tongue,
By stern and gentle, old and young.
Yea, even the children at their mother’s feet
Are taught such homely rhyming to repeat
“In latter days from Brahma came,
To rule our land, a noble Dame,
Kind was her heart and bright her fame,
And Ahlya was her honored name.
