Earlier this year, Thrillist picked the coolest dude from every state, so it was only a matter of time until they picked the coolest woman. That time is finally here.

Before we talk about their list, let's first see how Thrillist determined what is 'cool':

Obviously, "cool" is a subjective term, something you kinda sense/know when you see it. But we also think other qualities factor into what makes someone cool, everything from their profession/level of success and lifetime achievements, to how they contributed to (or bucked) society and their general "I don't give a f***" attitude. We took them all into consideration.

Some pretty famous and undeniably cool women made Thrillist's list, including 'Wonder Woman' Lynda Carter (Arizona), Amy Poehler (Massachusetts), and Dolly Parton (Tennessee).

So, who is Thrillist's pick for the coolest woman in North Dakota? It's Peggy Lee!:

Peggy Lee’s legacy spanned 60 years, from singing jazz on local radio to performing with Benny Goodman. She composed music for movies, acted, and created conceptual record albums. But what really gives her the upper hand among all the ladies of North Dakota is that she is the inspiration for Miss Piggy. #winning #pigging
