Other than Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher, have there been any competent, outstanding female heads-of-state?

I don’t count Golda Meir as a great leader, she allowed the Israeli’s to be caught flat footed in the 73 war.

As in, “Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?”?

While you're at it, the socialist Golda Meir can be scratched off your list, leaving us with Thatcher as the only really outstanding female leader in the 20th century.
