Belva Ann Lockwood was the first woman candidate for president whose name appeared on some official ballots. Victoria Woodhull ran earlier but was underage for the presidency at the time and so was even less serious as a candidate than Lockwood. She got fewer than 500 popular votes.
Hillary Clinton was the first serious candidate in 2008.
