Explanation

Khertek Anchimaa Tuluu became the first female head of state in the world when she was appointed Chair of the Presidium of Tuvan People's Republic in 1940. Tannu Tuva was a Soviet satellite state. This predates other notable first women leaders: Isabel Perón (Argentina, 1974) was first elected female president, Vigdís Finnbogadóttir (Iceland, 1980) first democratically elected female head of state, and Pratibha Patil (India, 2007) was India's first female president.
