    		I'm not sure Asia has yet had a female president. Israel's prime minister Golda Meir was the first woman to hold that office on th Asian continent in 1969.

    		There is a first female Asian "president". I am not looking for the prime minister.

    This Asian country was the first country to have the first female president, and currently still has a female president.
