The first country with a female "prime minister" was Ceylon, which in 1972 became officially known as the republic of Sri Lanka.
On July 21, 1960, Sirimavo Bandaranaike (1916-2000) was appointed prime minister after her party took power. Her husband Solomon (S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike) had been prime minister and was assassinated in 1959, leading to a 6-month caretaker government under Wijeyananda Dahanayake, and a failed 4-month attempt by Dudley Senanayake. Sirimavo served three separate terms (1960-65, 1970-72, 1972-77). Her daughter became the country's first female president (1994-2005).
Pakistan's Benazir Bhutto was the first female Prime Minister of a Muslim country. She was first elected in 1988.
Sure. Benazir Bhutto was the leader of Pakistan. Bangladesh also recently had a female head of state. I'm sure there have been others.

Paris is a city, not a country, so it does not have a Prime Minister.
This depends on the country:
Please note that in Britain the reigning monarch does not elect the prime minister. When Elizabeth II succeeded her father on 6 February 1952 Winston Churchill was the prime minister.
The people of England elect their local MP ( Member of Parliament) and these elected officials elect the PM (Prime Minister) who governs the country.
No, the people on Canada do not directly elect their Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is the leader of the party who forms the government, which is almost always determined by who wins a plurality of seats in the federal election.

No. Canada has a Prime Minister as the Head of Government, and the Monarch of Britain as Head of State.
The country of Canada does not have presidents as its leader. Instead they elect Prime Ministers. The current Prime Minister is Stephen Harper, from the Conservative Party.
