"Executive Position" is a broad term, subject to various interpretations. One could even say that a woman who owned and tended a bar or brothel was in an "executive position", which would make any "Madame" of the old west - or ancient Babylon - one of the first to hold that position.

However, one could best make a case for Ruth Leech, who IBM had named as a Vice President back in 1943. True, positions below that can be considered "executive" in some cases, but at the VP level there is no doubt.
