In Germany we had
Space Patrol Orion, which aired just 9 days after the first episode of Star Trek. It only got a seven episode season, as it turned out to be hugely expensive even though it was shot in black and white, which made it pretty much impossible to export. But it was very well recieved.
It had two female officers (one of them security) on the ship and also a woman as Chief of the space navy. And I don't think Germany was any more progressive than America at the time. Probably even less.
