An emperor (from the Latin "imperator") is a (male) monarch, usually the sovereign ruler of an empire or another type of imperial realm. Empress is the female equivalent. As a title, "empress" may indicate the wife of an emperor (empress consort) or a woman who rules in her own right (empress regnant). Emperors and empresses are generally recognized to be above kings and queens in honour and rank.
As of October 2023, there are no reigning empresses, as most monarchies have transitioned away from the title of empress. The last notable empress was Michiko of Japan, who held the title until her husband, Emperor Akihito, abdicated in 2019. Currently, Japan's imperial family is led by Emperor Naruhito, with no empress consort. Thus, there are no living empresses in active roles today.
Mainly being a woman who usurped a title that should be a man's.
