Women Who Ran for President
March is National Women’s History Month---can you identify the woman pictured above? She was the first woman to run for U.S. President (in 1872), and has been followed in that quest by a number of women in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. See the whole list on the website of the National Women’s History Museum. Test your knowledge of women’s history here. Need help with the answers? The library has many books, DVDs and electronic resources about women’s history, the women’s suffrage movement, and the history of feminism. (Bonus question: who did win the Presidency in 1872?)
