Who was the first female politician of the highest rank?

get rank
Me asked:

In other words, I want to know when and who was to be the first female politician who was upgraded to the highest rank with the equivalent of “president,” “prime minister,” etc. First ever in modern world history.

Thanks.

    Boedecia was one of the very early ones. Then there was Cleopatra. But you’re asking about modern times? Probably Indira Gandhi
