If Indonesian, Japanese, Filipina, Vietnamese or Iranian, it is my understanding that she would have to had been born after World War II ended.
If Chinese or Russian, she may be older.
Not sure about Japanese. It was never fully occupied was it?
The military occupation of Japan by the Allied Powers lasted from 1945 to 1952, though it was primarily carried out by US forces.
I suppose it counts as fully occupied since Japan surrendered unconditionally, but by some argument of definition (like there wasn't enough american soldiers to stand on every meter/yard on japanese earth) someone could say it wasn't. But I think we don't deal with a definition like that.
With her death after 01.01.1970 and her max life span of 79 (plus min life of 41), lets see how that work out:
lets say she died 2022 and lived 41 years, then she lived from 1981-2022
if she died 2022 and lived 71 years, then she lived from 1951-2022
lets say she died 1971 and lived 41 years, then she lived from 1930-1971
and if she died 1971 and lived 71 years, then she lived from 1900-1971
well, these are the four extremes (latest year, max life length, earliest year, min life length), but we see it's possible she lived through both world wars, only one, or none. (note to self, I should've asked about a later date)
I'm not sure which question gives us the most information, but for the last question before our free guesses go away, I suggest one of these topics:
-) more detail what kind of stateswoman
-) decreasing the possible range of her lifespan
-) it would help knowing what made her famous, but I think, less than a GM hint, we will not get it (except if we are godly lucky) if we ask about it
-) getting to know which country exactly should help us in the end too, but I'm not sure if we can achieve that with only one question left.
-) we could try to find out more about that university in her homecountry?
