A really nice idea for a quiz but a few errors I think - Britain had female heads of state and government from 1979 to 1990, which was well before Estonia, and Portugal abolished its slave trade under pressure from Britain, which had already abolished her own slave trade some years previously. Just the two I'm aware of!

I wonder also if the "modern parliamentary session" needs clarification - I'm not sure what it means?

Fun quiz, although you can only really do it by guesswork / trial and error by copying & pasting.

As mentioned above, Britain had a female head of state and PM in 1979, before Estonia existed.

But it doesn't say "leader." It says "head of government and head of state" which is a very different thing.

Also (since I assume you're referring to Catherine I), Great Britain had a female queen (Elizabeth I) long before even that.

I think it's fair to say that monarchs of previous incarnations of modern countries don't exactly count for this.
