The ones I remember are Shirley Chisolm, the first black woman elected to Congress, who ran for president in 1972. And Margaret Chase Smith who ran in 1964. Chilsom was a Democrat from New York and Smith was a Republican from Maine.
Oh an the Democrats nominated a woman for Vice President in 1984, Geraldine Ferraro.
There might be more that I can't remember. But Hillary might be the first woman actually to get her party's nomination for president! (And to win!) Stick around, it's gonna be interesting!

No. Shirley Chisholm, congresswoman from New York was the first real candidate in 1972. Not only was she a woman, she was black.
"I stand before you today as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency of the United States. I am not the candidate of black America, although I am black and proud. I am not the candidate of the women's movement of this country, although I am a woman, and I am equally proud of that. I am not the candidate of any political bosses or special interests. I am the candidate of the people."

Sen. Margaret Chase Smith (ME) became the first woman to have her name placed in nomination for president at a major party convention when Sen. George Aiken nominated her at the 1964 Republican national convention. Smith – also the first woman to serve in both the House and Senate – had campaigned briefly for the post when the Senate was not in session.

Elizabeth Dole (R), Edie Bukewihge (R) and Carole Moseley Braun (D) are the most recent (during the Bush Administration) who have entered their names and with or without respect challenged that place in history. Rodham is not the first, and will not win the nomination either, she is the wrong one. Ha!

No. Others have run but no woman has ever gotten a major parties nomination. The closest we've come is Geraldine Ferraro being selected as Walter Mondale's running mate in 1984.

No. Susan B. Anthony ran, and I believe there were women running even before her.
In the 70's, Shirley Chisolm ran, and in 1992, Carole Moseley Braun ran. In 2000, Elizabeth Dole ran.

Hillary Clinton might become the first woman US President because of the network of fundraisers she inherited from former President Bill Clinton.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.
