Women and the Presidency
Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.

Madam President: Progress, Problems, and Prospects for 2008 By Robert P. Watson1 Abstract Women have made great progress in electoral politics both in the United States and around the world, and at all levels of public office. However, although a number of women have led their countries in the modern era and a growing number of women are winning gubernatorial, senatorial, and congressional races, the United States has yet to elect a female president, nor has anyone come close. This paper considers the prospects for electing a woman president in 2008 and the challenges facing Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice–potential frontrunners from both major parties–given the historical experiences of women who pursued the nation’s highest office.

Kathy King Statement – Speak to Me
Kathy King Statement – Speak to Me The birth of our country revolved, in part, around freedom of religion, which in turn wove an often- explosive tale concerning cultural interest in spiritualism. As we know, the tug-of-war between spiritualists with their ability or interest to “speak to the beyond” conflicted with early Puritan beliefs, resulting in well- known tragedies such as the Salem Witch trials. Those that challenged or confused the religious doctrine of the time were most often women. Years later, Victorian America (1837-1901) produced cases of women who were identified as psychic mediums and spiritualists who aligned themselves with both the rights of women as well as people of color. Many attained a modicum of celebrity in doing so such as the Fox sisters of Hydesville, New York in 1848 to the great Victoria Woodhull, a somewhat ignored leader in the women’s suffrage movement who was not only one the first woman-owner of a Wall Street brokerage firm but also declared herself the first woman candidate for the Presidency in 1872. This work does not share the biography of such individuals but instead explores the embodiment of power attained by women identified as spiritualists. In a time where women had little power or voice beyond the confines of the domestic space, those identified as being able to communicate with those that have “passed on” certainly rocked the boat regarding the identity of women as the quiet, unassuming caregiver, domestic servant and sexual object. This point of exchange is what interests me - the temporary slip from one role guided by social norms to one of spectacular interest and importance.

Ohio House State and Local Government Committee The Honorable Scott Wiggam, Chairman Proponent Testimony on Senate Bill 30 Megan Wood, Ohio History Connection Director of Cultural Resources March 27, 2019 Chairman Wiggam and members of the Senate Government Oversight and Reform Committee: My name is Megan Wood and I am here on behalf of the Ohio History Connection in support of Senate Bill 30, co-sponsored by Senators Kunze and Williams. I would like to provide some context on the suffrage movement in Ohio and the efforts by organizations across the state to prepare to celebrate this centennial and ensure inclusivity. From the first days of the movement, long before 1848 and the Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention, Ohio and Ohioans led the nation in campaigning for equal rights and opportunities for women: 1828 Frances Wright becomes the first woman in the United States to speak in public, launching what would become an international speaking career in the Hamilton County (Ohio) courthouse. An abolitionist and woman's rights activist dubbed "The Red Harlot of Infidelity," Wright persisted despite harsh criticism and threats of physical violence. 1848 Less than 2 months after his participation in the Seneca Falls Convention, Frederick Douglass led the National Convention of Black Freemen in Cleveland, Ohio, which became the very first national convention to permit participation by women when a "Mrs. Sanford" was allowed to address the participants. 1850 Activists, including Betsy Mix Cowles, in Salem, Ohio host the Ohio Women's Convention, the first convention to be run and organized entirely by women. 1851 Sojourner Truth delivers her "Ain't I a Woman?" speech at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron.
