Answer:

One hundred years after American women won the right to vote—a right mostly limited to white women at first—Kamala Harris has become the first woman (and the first Black and Asian American) elected vice president of the United States.

Harris is hardly the first woman to run for the office, though. Women have been aiming for higher office since long before they could vote. (Find out why, a century after women’s suffrage, the fight for equality isn’t over.)

Suffragist and New York newspaper publisher Victoria Woodhull, who along with her sister was also the first female Wall Street stockbroker, became the first woman to run for president in 1872 when she was nominated by the newly formed Equal Rights Party. It’s not clear she actually campaigned, and at 33 she could not legally have been president. (Abolitionist Frederick Douglass was listed as the vice presidential candidate, but he hadn’t been asked to join the ticket and never acknowledged the campaign.) On election day, Woodhull was in jail on obscenity charges for publishing details about a religious leader’s affair in her newspaper. Despite her notoriety, there’s no record that anyone cast their ballot for her.
