who was the first woman to run for president of the us
Wonder Woman surely did run for president, in 1943, as seen in this cover from DC Comics. But do you know the name of the woman who really was the first to run for U.S. president? Victoria Woodhull, born in 1838 in Homer, Ohio, was selected by the Equal Rights Party to be its candidate in the 1872 election. (She lost to fellow Ohioan Ulysses S. Grant, who was reelected to a second term.). The Library of Congress is an incomparable resource for research into women's history, which is especially appropriate to study in March, Women's History Month.
