Yes - several

Bevla Lockwood ran several times in the 1880s. Actress Gracie Allen ran in 1940 as the "Surprise Party" and received got 42000 votes - "Everybody knows a woman is better than a man when it comes to introducing bills into the house." Since World War 2 there has been at least one female candidate in each election. most female candidates ran with Socialist parties.

Vice presidential candidates started in the 1880s, and there's been at least one candidate in each election since world war 2 (1964 was a single exception).

In 1952 , Charlotta Bass ran with the progressive party and received 140,000 votes.

In 1980 La Donna Harris ran as VP for the Citizens party and they received 233,000 votes.

In 1984, the Democratic party chose Geraldine Ferraro as the VP candidate under Mondale and received 37,577,352 votes.

Green party candidate Winona LaDuke received 597,000 votes in 1996 and 2,883,000 votes in 2000.

In 2008 - Sara Palin was nominated by the Republican party and received 57,371,000 votes. The 2008 Green Party had two female candidates: Cynthia McKinney (pres) and Rosa Clemente (VP) and the party received 161,600 votes.

No, Michelle Obama is President Obama's wife, the First Lady. Although there have been females who were candidates for both president and vice president, so far, the United States has never had a woman president, nor a woman vice president. It should be noted that some sources expect Hillary Clinton to be a candidate for president in 2016: if she does decide to run, she will be the first former First Lady to also run for president. Michelle Obama has also been asked about running for office after her husband is no longer president; but she has said that at this point, she has no interest in being a political candidate.
