Which country never had woman prime-minister?
I did not add the USA - unfortunately because it would be too obvious...

Let just talk about these women who were primie-ministers starting with Polish - Hanna Suchocka. I remember I was on summer vacations at Mazuria area (lake region) when we learnt that Suchocka will be a new prime-minister! She was good! look at the link below the info to see her picture Hanna Suchocka (b. April 3, 1946 in Pleszew, Poland) is a Polish political figure. She served as the prime minister of Poland between 1992 and 1993, and was the first female politician to hold this post in Polish history. Suchocka is a specialist in Constitutional Law. She was a member of the Polish Sejm in the 1980s, and became Prime Minister in 1992. She served as an anomaly in the representation of women, however, as she partly obtained her position due to her affability to both sides of the political spectrum. Her left-wing leanings, accompanied by her stringent anti-abortion position, made her the perfect candidate to satisfy the interests of a majority coalition in Parliament consisting of three parties including her own Democratic Union, the Christian National Union, and the Liberal Democratic Congress. She currently serves as Poland's ambassador to the Holy See. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanna_Suchocka |

This is tough to answer off the top of my head (and I suspect that Googling is cheating here, right?!), but I'm guessing France.

Susan, oh now, using google is not really cheating, this just means that you do research. I call cheating only if somebody guess the quix after reading the link to the picture - this happens sometimes. We cannot just choose the right answer from.... whatever country received the most votes because this is not the poll for opinions but facts ;  |

France had a female prime-minister, Edith Cresson (Parti Socialiste), from may 1991 until april 1992.
Under her more information:
Cresson, Edith (?d?t' kr?s?N') , 1934–, French politician, b. Edith Campion. After studying at the École des Hautes Études Commerciales, she became a consultant in private industry. Active in the Socialist party, she became national secretary of the party (for youth) in 1974 and was elected to the European Assembly in 1979. She then held a series of ministerial appointments, including agriculture and forestry (1981–83), trade and tourism (1983–84), and industrial redeployment and foreign trade (1984–86). From 1986 until her resignation in 1990, she was a member of the national assembly. In May, 1991, President François Mitterrand recalled her to replace Michel Rocard as premier, but she resigned in Apr., 1992, and was replaced by Pierre Bérégovoy. In 1995, Cresson was appointed to the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, but allegations of corruption led her and 19 other commission members to resign in 1999. In 2003 she was charged by Belgium with fraud relating to contracts prepared by her EU office in the late 1990s, but the charges were dropped in 2004.
Holland never had a female prime minister, but has a Queen! I voted from Italy.

Pieter,
thank you so much for preparing so much information for us. I was also astonished to find our that France had a prime-minister. We also all know that Scandinavian countries had women prime-ministers frequently, Holland has a queen.
So, you are totally right, according to my knowledge this is just Italy that did not have any women prime-minister!

Since Italy never had women prime-minister, let's at least have a picture of Berlusconi and his wife  |
