"Hillary Clinton is boldly running for President in 2008, and the thought may seem unusual, since we've never had a woman President. We have, however, had a President election with a woman on the ballot before - 13 elections, in fact! Here's a look at some of the more notable cases of this phenomena, and why Clinton may just have a chance.
Dr. Lenora Fulani - ran for the New Alliance Party in 1988. She is a developmental psychologist and psychotherapist. She is perhaps the most successful female Presidential candidate so far. She is both the first woman and the first African-American to achieve a spot on the ballot in all fifty states, and she pulled a record number of votes for a female candidate, at 217,219. She ran again in 1992 for the same party, but didn't do as well. In 1993, she joined with activists rallying around Ross Perot, to get an alternative voting platform going."
