List of female United States presidential and vice-presidential candidates
The following is a list of female U.S. presidential and vice-presidential nominees and invitees. Nominees are candidates nominated or otherwise selected by political parties for particular offices. Listed as nominees or nomination candidates are those women who achieved ballot access in at least one state (or, before the institution of government-printed ballots, had ballots circulated by their parties). They each may have won the nomination of one of the US political parties (either one of the two major parties or one of the third parties), or made the ballot as an Independent, and in either case must have votes in the election to qualify for this list. Exception is made for those few candidates whose parties lost ballot status for additional runs.
History
In 1872, Victoria Woodhull ran for President of the United States. While many historians and authors agree that Woodhull was the first woman to run for President, some have questioned the legality of her run. They disagree with classifying it as a true candidacy because she was younger than the constitutionally mandated age of 35. But election coverage by contemporary newspapers does not suggest age was a significant issue. The presidential inauguration was in March 1873, and Woodhull's 35th birthday was sixth months later in September. In 1884, Belva Lockwood followed with a run for President. Her running mate was Marietta Stow, who became the first woman to run for Vice President.[1]
The first woman considered for a major party presidential candidacy by an incumbent President was Oveta Hobby, by Dwight D. Eisenhower. Eisenhower encouraged Hobby to run in 1960, but she declined.[2] In 1964, Margaret Chase Smith announced her candidacy for the Republican Party nomination, becoming the first female candidate for a major party's nomination. She qualified for the ballot in six state primaries, and came in second in the Illinois primary, receiving 25% of the vote. She became the first woman to have her name placed in nomination for the presidency at a major political party's convention.[3] In 1972, Shirley Chisholm became the first black candidate for major party's presidential nomination, and the first woman to run for the Democratic Party's nomination.[4] In the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries, Hillary Clinton became the first woman to win a presidential primary, and the first to be listed as a presidential candidate in every primary and caucus nationwide.[5] Despite losing the nomination in a close race against Barack Obama, Clinton won more votes in 2008 than any primary candidate in American history.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton became the first woman nominated for president by a major party after winning a majority of delegates in the Democratic Party primaries, and was formally nominated at the Democratic National Convention on July 26, 2016.[6][7] As a major party nominee, Clinton became the first woman to participate in a presidential debate, and later the first to carry a state in a general election and to win electoral votes. Clinton lost the election but won the popular vote.[8]
Two women have won the vice-presidential nominations of major parties, Geraldine Ferraro for the Democratic Party in the 1984, and Sarah Palin for the Republican Party in the 2008.
The Green Party has run a female candidate three times, Cynthia McKinney in 2008 and Jill Stein in 2012 and 2016.

- 1 2 In 1972 in Arizona, Pima and Yavapai counties had a ballot malfunction that counted many votes for both a major party candidate and Linda Jenness of the Socialist Workers Party. A court ordered that the ballots be counted for both.
