Victoria Woodhull spent election day in 1872 in the Ludlow Street Jail, which derailed her plans to vote for herself for president of the United States — which she was bent on pulling off even though women wouldn’t get the right to vote for another 50 years. Though she had been formally nominated by the Equal Rights Party, a party she was chiefly responsible for creating, there were factors beyond her imprisonment that impeded her success.
“A woman actually did win the popular vote, let’s not forget,” says Gloria Feldt, the co-president of, a non-profit dedicated to achieving gender parity by 2025, addressing the fact that Clinton won the popular vote by 2.87 million votes. And, it seems we may never know the full impact Russia’s interference in our 2016 elections had on the outcome.
In a country in which women make up more than 50% of the population and earn more than half of the college degrees, yet still have not closed the pay gap, nor its promotion gap — if we can call it that — it’s no wonder a woman has not been promoted to the highest office of the land. “Yes, the country is ready to elect a woman but that doesn’t mean the process to get there won’t be challenging,” says Lauren Leader. First, there is bias in the media “that skews every aspect of the coverage from overlooking the women candidates to painting them in more negative terms.”
The fact that Hillary won the popular vote by a large margin proves that a woman is indeed electable, and even more so since the 2016 election. “There is a fervent desire for change and to see more women and diversity in our politics,” says Marianne Schnall, author of"What Will It Take to Make a Woman President? Conversations About Women, Leadership & Power" and founder of, evidenced by the historic wins in the 2018 midterm elections in both the House and Senate.
“A woman who knows how to articulate a clear, simple vision AND stand up to Trump will be a much more formidable candidate than, say, Joe Biden, yet another older white man. Power always goes to the insurgent. Think Obama, Trump, Ocasio-Cortez,” says Gloria Feldt.
Throwing race card in should not be allowed! She is not African American she is Jamaican! She I'd so full of it she stinks!
Yes, but it will not be Harris or Gillibrand that breaks that glass ceiling!
Yes. We were ready in 2016. May I introduce you to HillaryClinton? She won the popular vote by more than 3 million votes.
AOC, Yes. KH, no chance in .....
Yes, a woman won last time!
Not this one. She is simply an opportunistic fraud.
Yes u can!
Yes, woman can win presidency; but not Harris or Warren!!! When Candace Owen is ready to run. She will win.
We better make it happen to save the republic.
I don't think so Women are just Aliens from Venus and guess what! The earth is the worst place for them to strive in. 😳. This tweet made me realise that it doesn't take too much to work anywhere!
Why do we continually try to drive a wedge between men and women? It’s about competency, character and integrity. Not seeing a candidate that fits that bill.
Maybe !!!!!!
None that are running in 2020!
Not this one !
No! America is more sexist than racist
Nikki Haley
There is not a single credible dem candidate, let alone a female dem candidate. They have all committed to free everything for illegal aliens.
Not that one
yes. a woman close to the middle but still has the be dem. Dem women won’t vote for a rep woman.
Yes! A woman can, but when?
In all my years of experiencing life, I've never seen where decency, intelligence, compassion, competence and all other human attributes we value in America, is gender specific. It's time to resist the fear and step into the future.
Boooooo 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 not from the ballot box of black Americans CUT THE ✅💰💰💰 ados
Why underlining the gender of the person all the time? A person is a person. Give men & women equal rights and opportunities and let the best win! The World needs good people. Who cares about everything else.
For me gender plays no place in the ballot I cast, it all about the core values of the candidate 🤔
How you gonna be a President
She doesnt even know History'
Not Just any
It’s definitely possible
Yes, but please let it NOT be kamala h
Sure, if she’s Nikki Haley.
Sure, with Russian support, almost any gender, talent, or ideolog now has a chance; it is no longer just a two-party pluralist system; even someone 35-yrs old could win; the better question is “whom does American capitalism need to win?”
yes. can KamalaHarris win the presidency? no.
👍 oh yes
Why is a major media publication asking this question? It has already happened in numerous countries. At the last US election a woman won the popular vote by nearly 3 million votes.
A well-qualified woman, yes. KamalaHarris - no.
It’s not about women occupying a seat, it’s about competency and MERIT. Folks should stop harping about gender, it’s becoming to sound like a din
Be careful what you ask for ... we once asked if a person of color could win — one did — and our economy was a disaster for 8 years, our country lost the respect of the world and even race relations went backward!
Yes, NikkiHaley can.
My guess is yes but not in 2020; with such a polarized country a woman candidate is an easy target for a bully
Why not? They have a great leadership experience of 9 months!
AOC - when she get’s old enough
Not that woman, or as they call her in Sacramento blow job
Yes, but not Kamala Harris. ewarren is the real deal.
Of course a woman can win the presidency but Harris it demoRat
Of course, but not an unqualified racist that that from what I can see is to resist Trump, even so blatantly starting out that already means she isn’t ready to be President of the USA
Michelle Obama can
Absolutely. Her name will be Nikki Haley.
Very sexist question.
Yes...😘
If she's only siennawestland
Why not. Aren't we in 2019?
May be... if she’s not an idiot!
Of course,like President of Taiwan Tsai IngWen
Not that Woman!
No.
What a stupid question. HillaryClinton got majority of the votes already in 2016. Trump
only if she is qualified Harris has not accomplished anything of significance if she uses California as an example it won’t cut it Complaining and not offering any solutions won’t win her the election we don’t need more tax and spend and regulations
Not this woman
Absolutely....
Sure just not the one in pic
Not yet.
sure but not just any! citizens will vote leadership ideas first; even better if they come from a woman. Democrat field is full of extreme ideas who are bent in making USA a decaying socialist place where hard work, personal accountability, rule of law will take a back seat.
Yes. If anyone can do it, Kamala Harris can.
NO. Because women are jealous of other women.
Not Partisan Socialist Harris!!’
Not the ones running
Hopefully, a Republican in 2024.
Yes please
That question should be as offensive as 'Is the holocaust a real thing?'
Not this one, but yes
No. Spoiler alert- the gay guy won’t win either.
Sure, either Nikki Haley or Condoleezza Rice would be terrific!
Mermaids cannot live without water.
If she is competent. But by variety of other reasons a woman would not be elected President of USA.
Not this one.
Michelle.
Forbes having doubt?
this woman
Yes! Not the one in the photo, but a strong leader.....
Candice Owen or Nicki Haley
Sure, just not any democrat woman.
well Hillary won the popular vote and would've won the electoral vote if not for Russian interference, so clearly yes. Can an orange lying traitor with dementia and no clue what he's doing win re-election?
Yes absolutely, but none that are currently running.
Not even in your wildest dreams
Warren can
Indonesia do this during 2001-2004
Yes a woman can be president. IvankaTrump 2024election.
Yes but not those running for President not Leftists Socialists women not now
Not any of these democrats will.
Yes
Nikki Haley, 2024
Menopause might get in the way so idk 🤷🏻♂️
I seriously concidered her. Cause I hate trump. But now she's kissing up to the beach vote so no, count me out.
HRC response
golly i don't know. tell me!
Nop
Same old, same old. Yes a woman can. The question is when, but as long as a man, any man is chosen over a woman, things will remain the same and you will continue to ask the same thing.
One got 3 million more votes than our current president so it’s a stupid question.
Yes. When Nikki Haley runs
Hillary already did. Stupid electoral college.
Not now. Maybe in 2040s.
En otros tiempos, quizá Ahora depende de la persona Ya no hay límites, solo los que tu te pongas Hillary no es presidenta pero si ganó Es alguien que pude llegar a tener los códigos nucleares Hay muchos temas mas importantes y tiene tiempo para todo
Absolutely. If she has broad 😶 appeal. Assuming that the fact she is a she is enough to carry her into the White House would be the same mistake that HRC made.
Absolutely, but not this woman.
Yes but not one who hates America
Tulsi2020 TulsiGabbard
Absolutely, you’ve got to remember, Hillary won the popular vote.
Yes. But not this dingbat
Enough with this dumb question
Not this woman.
Oh FFS, a woman already WON and there’s plenty more women on deck for 2020. 🙌🏻 🇺🇸
Absolutely and I hope so in my lifetime however none of the candidates are capable
yes a woman can , but not a lying pandering evil one
Can a competent person win is the real question?
Not that woman
Yes she can..
not that one
A woman who is: - pro marijuana - pro choice - pro guns - anti-tax increase to middle class Has my vote
Not her
A woman: definitely The woman in the picture: No way in hell
Yes she can!
Probably...but it won't be her.
Yes we can. Lots of female leaders in Europe.
