Yes. The Democratic Party nominated Geraldine Ferraro to run as Vice-President with Presidential candidate Walter Mondale in 1984. They were beaten by Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush.

During the Elizabethan era, Eve and women in general were traditionally viewed as weak, witless, and sinful for obeying Satan and eating the apple from the Tree of Knowledge. Full blame was cast upon Eve and consequentially, women suffered from this common perspective.

Still apart from being responsible for children and the household, women also worked.

Women of the upper classes enjoyed life and intrigued at court like the men.

Women of the middle classes often helped in the business and took care of the household at the same time.

Some were landladies or shopkeepers.

Women in cities of the lower classes, would often provide labor for the guilds (as seamstresses, tanners, weavers etc) or be midwives or market-women or prostitutes.

Women at farms worked at the land like the men, but were also responsible for spinning, weaving, making clothes, taking care of small animals, the house and children.

Sandra Day O'Connor married John Jay O'Connor on December 20, 1952. Jay O'Connor died of Alzheimer's Disease in November 2009.

Why? because God wanted her to I'm pretty sure.

Women's role in society back then was to stand by their man & do housework. When countries got involved in WW1, men were shipped off to the frontlines and women often got involved in factories and other jobs left open by the men that left. When the war ended, women were able to return to working in the home, and that opened up jobs for men.

Ida B. Wells (also known in some sources as Ida B. Wells-Barnett) was baptized into the African Methodist Episcopal church; she remained a devout member of the AME church, and her deep Christian convictions influenced her activism on behalf of racial justice.

She died of a unknown illness, likely exacerbated by her previous hunger strikes and the repeated use of a stomach pump to relieve the discomfort.

They had very few rights, compared to today. They were legally the property of their father or husband, and only the most wealthy upper-class women had the freedom to study or to travel. Upper-class women might have a private tutor, or they might attend one of the newly-established girls' schools, where they learned music, the arts, literature, religion, and basic mathematics. But again, the right to attend such a school was contingent on the father or other male members of the household approving of the idea; and no universities in Europe would have accepted a female student at that time. Many upper-class women had some business training so that they could effectively run a home with servants and maintain a budget; some of these women were able to afford nice clothing, and thanks to family money, they could become patrons of the arts. But few women, even in the upper class, were able to make independent decisions about their life. And if you were a lower class woman, you were generally not able to study at all, nor decide upon the direction your life would take. You went to work as a young girl, and learned the skills that were considered necessary to make your employer happy. Your life was about raising children and obeying your husband's wishes. Now and then, a lower-class young woman was fortunate enough to have a progressive employer who saw her intelligence and gave her a chance to study with a tutor; but this was the exception rather than the rule.

Indira Gandhi was the fourth prime minister of India. She was the daughter of India's first prime minister and independence leader Jawaharlal Nehru. She was almost always seen wearing the traditional Indian dress of 'Sari'.

Sandra Day O'Connor currently lives in Phoenix, Arizona.

Sir Alexander MacKenzie (1764 - March 11, 1820) became the first European to cross the Rocky Mountains in 1793.

Women did have rights. They could buy and sell property. They could also run buisnessess.

I don't know which era or century you are asking about, but throughout history, being wealthy and upper-class meant a girl had more opportunities. In previous centuries, these opportunities did not include having a career-- that was still something reserved for boys, in most cultures. But it did mean girls could learn to read, learn some basic math, and be exposed to art, music, literature, and dance. The assumption was that girls would devote their life to being wives and mothers, but wealthy girls were taught the fine arts because it was presumed they would need to make intelligent conversation at social events, or teach their children if no good school was available. Also, they were supposed to know how to manage a large home, live within a budget, supervise the servants, and make sure that events like parties and other social gatherings were conducted properly. And while the society did not give women an equal say in decision-making nor let her vote, within the domestic sphere, being a wealthy young woman meant you would be well-dressed and not have to do menial labor. (In modern times, wealthy girls are able to afford to attend private schools, or even attend a good college. And in some countries, women can choose a career, or choose to marry, or do both. But again, the key is they can "choose"-- they have options, thanks in part to their family's wealth and social status.)

However, if you were from the lower class (a poor girl), you generally were not given even a basic education in all too many countries. It was expected that you would go to work for a rich person, as a servant or a seamstress or a maid, perhaps as young as eight or nine years old. You would do difficult and demanding work, usually for very low pay. You might marry young and have children young, and the cycle would continue to repeat itself. And if you lived in a country where you were a religious or ethnic minority, your opportunities were even more limited; in countries with indentured servitude or slavery, a girl was considered not much more than property. The key to changing any of this, especially in countries with very little social mobility, was access to education. Countries that began to offer free public education helped some girls to break out of the low status in which they were stuck. Unfortunately, to this day, many countries do not offer free public education, keeping yet another generation of lower-class girls from reaching their full potential.

They held rallies and posted in front of bars and saloons. Another proposed - and probably often implemented action - was witholding sexual favors to errant husbands. There was even a song promoting this, ending with the line "lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine".

Susan B. Anthony died on March 13 1906, in her house on 17 Madison, in Rochester, New York.

She did live to see the fruits of her work on women's suffrage come to pass. This happened in 1920.

Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to graduate from Medical School in the U.S., and was a leader among many in the growing Women's Rights movement of her time, from February,1821 to May,1910. She affects our lives today by proving that women can beat the odds no matter how they may be stacked against them. That if she could overcome the social objections, and barriers to become a doctor, then certainly now, all dreams are possible for all people. She is an inspiration for all people to overcome any obstacles to reach their goals, but especially women.

The first Briton of either sex to fly in space was Helen Sharman, who in 1991 flew aboard the Soviet Soyuz TM-12 and visited the MIR space station.

Women were forced by the economic crisis to leave the comfort of their homes to take up jobs to help their families. Even though it was tough, this gave them the opportunity to gain a place in society. Some men were too self absorbed with the image and left their families and not except that women were moving up the ladder of society.
