you also need to accept Megawati as an answer, as that's her name--Sukarnoputri is NOT a family name, just an honorific.

Hasina's last name is almost ALWAYS spelt "Wajed." You need to at the very least accept that spelling, if not officially change the way it's spelled in the display.

I like this quiz, but I would put the people from the same country all together - don't mix their titles up into one category, but where you have both a president and a prime minister from a country (like for Iceland and India), at least put them next to each other.

This quiz is called "Famous female political leaders". Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, former president of Iceland, was never political. That was the essence of her presidency. Present prime minister of Iceland, Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, is not and will never be a leader.

Re - your last sentence emilkr. Is there a particular reason for this or your own personal view. Just curious (Icelandic politics isn't one of my strong points.

@Ballinasloe. Thanks for your interest. Being an Icelander myself and also a bit involved in local politics I must admit that my opinion may be a little biased. But... Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir was a reasonably popular minister of welfare in two governments (with 13 years apart) but her popularity was gained by hardheadedly always refusing to save or cut any costs in her ministry when needed resulting in other ministers having to cut even more costs in their ministries and Jóhanna was hailed as the guardian angel of the less fortunate members of society. Because of this undeserved reputation she was called to lead a new government after a severe crisis and political unrest. Two years have gone now and she has done nothing... except make unfulfilled promises, propose actions never taken and constantly finding someone else to blame for the situation. She has been a memeber of parliament for 33 years, longer than any other present MP, and if you look at her career you will see that she has achieved disappointingly little. Besides if the statements she has made through the years are compared you will also see that she constantly contradicts herself.

Former Canadian PM Kim Campbell and current Australian PM Julia Gillard, maybe?
