Ballots for Belva: The True Story of a Woman's Race for the Presidency by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen

3.0

In 1884, before women could even vote, this forward-thinking woman actually ran for president. And more than that, she had a female running mate (take that, Geraldine Ferraro!). She received over 1200 votes, from men, since they were the only ones who could vote at the time. She probably received more than that, but many of her votes were given away or thrown away by men who did not think that a woman could or should be president.
