Quiz · Woman head of state or government, in her own right · yes / no

Has Czechia ever had a woman as head of state or government?

Source: Wikipedia: List of elected and appointed female heads of state and government. A woman counts when she held head of state or head of government in her own right. Acting, interim, honorary, and governor-general-only spells do not count. Queens and grand duchesses regnant do count. Each country on this board was checked against that list and the officeholder's article. See the source.
