Victoria Claflin WoodhullVictoria Woodhull, who ran against Ulysses Grant in 1872, was the first woman to run for President of the US. She was a feminist, spiritualist and advocate of "free love" (allowing people to choose relationships, instead of the social and legal constraints of marriage put upon women of the time).
His opponent in 1868 was Horatio Seymour from New York. In 1872 Horace Greeley, also from New York, ran against him. (Greeley died after the popular election but before the electoral college voted, so it might have been legally interesting if Greeley had won. )Victoria Woodhull also ran in 1872, but she was too young to be president, did not appear on any ballots and did not get any votes, so some doubt that she was a serious candidate.
