Today I was reading about Beatriz de la Cueva, who was governor of the Captaincy General of Guatemala in 1541. I checked the List of first women governors and chief ministers and realized to my amazement that the first listed female governor in the list was Nellie Taylor Ross, who started her term almost 400 years afterwards, in 1925.
I am trying to verify, who was the first female governor (not head of state or national head of government) in the world? Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 00:22, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Has Chinese philosophy developed its own tradition of logic? 2A02:8071:60A0:92E0:813F:2BED:28FC:427D ( talk) 20:06, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Does the Bank of France serve as the central bank for metropolitan France only, or for those parts of France that use the euro (but not franc-using places like French Polynesia), or for all of France? This image highlights countries whose central banks are members of an international organisation, and none of overseas France is highlighted. I assume it's an error, but I don't want to change something and introduce an error, and the fact that different bits of France use different currencies makes the whole situation seem confusing.
