Victoria Woodhull, American woman's rights leader, circa 1890s (CSU Archives / Everett Collection/REX)(1872) First female US presidential candidate is nominated
The Equal Rights Party nominates suffragist Victoria Woodhull for president of the United States. Her candidacy, the first ever by a woman in the US, will be derailed a few days before the election when she’s arrested on obscenity charges, but she will try again in subsequent elections.
Victoria Claflin Woodhull, later Victoria Woodhull Martin was an American leader of the women’s suffrage movement. In 1872, Woodhull ran for President of the United States. While many historians and authors agree that Woodhull was the first woman to run for President of the United States, some have questioned that priority given issues with 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. However, election coverage by contemporary newspapers does not suggest age was a significant issue; this may, however, be due to the fact that no one took the candidacy seriously.

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
