Victoria Claflin Woodhull, part of the suffragist movement, was the first, running for president a full 100 years before Chisholm. Woodhull’s 1872 candidacy was also waged before passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which allowed women the right to vote.

usa of america desires a *good*, *actual* conservative man or woman as President! regrettably, there are none working for President this year who've a existence like hazard of triumphing! Former Congressman Bob Barr is working on the Libertarian social gathering cost tag; yet he, in spite of being the superb conservative selection for President nonetheless in the working, possibly will do no longer something yet take conservative votes removed from the *alleged* conservative, John McCain, the guy the DNC chosen because of the fact the Republican candidate! Oh how my fellow conservatives and that i long for a "good" conservative like Mitt Romney, Elizabeth Dole, Alan Keyes or Condi Rice! i assume Fred Thompson did no longer have sufficient "hearth in his abdomen" to *somewhat* marketing campaign for the Presidency! usa of america somewhat does *no longer* choose an elitist, "entitled", elitist, Socialist, like Hillary Rodham Clinton, or a a million/2-white Socialist, anti-American, racist, like Barry Hussein Obama as our next President!

There has been no major woman candidate for president. Geraldine Ferraro ran for vice-president in 1984 as a Democrat.
