Who was the first president to run against a female presidential candidate?
Franklin Roosevelt in 1940
ANSWER: In the 1872 presidential election, which Grant won, the nominee for the Equal Rights Party was Victoria Woodhull. Woodhull was a major player in Women's Suffrage movement, and has a fascinating biography. The legality of her run for president is questionable because of several technicalities- the main one being that she was under the age of 35. The State of Ohio, where she was born, did not require the registration of births until 1867. Woodhull is believed to have been born in 1838, but there was no legal evidence to corroborate such a claim.
