Publisher's Summary:
Since Victoria Woodhull launched her symbolic bid for the presidency in 1872, dozens of women have sought the presidency over the past 150 years. Their quest began long before women won the vote, and it unfolded over decades when a woman's pursuit of any higher political office was met with prejudice, mockery, and hostility. Even after women started voting in 1920, they remained shut out of rooms where presidential candidacies were often born. Whether a woman will break through the glass ceiling during the current election cycle is uncertain, Fitzpatrick acknowledges. But it will happen sooner or later.
Members Reviews:
Informative and very timely
Found this book interesting, well researched and very engaging. I learned so much about the women described in the book as well as about the history of women in politics. Very relevant on today's election environment. I highly ecommend it.
An Eye-Popping, Jaw-Dropping Page Turner
The only time I could put this book down was when I needed to process the horrifying ways in which history repeats itself. Margaret Chase Smith dealing with Senator Joseph McCarthy is eerily similar to what's going on today with right wing bullies. And what Shirley Chisholm put up with, both from feminism's leading lights as well as Richard Nixon's dirty tricksters will take your breath away.

I thought it was a terrific read and 'right on' for what we are currently experiencing!
The same 'push back' against an eminently qualified candidate.
Extremely well written!

It remains to be seen whether the country has learned anything since 1920 when women got the vote. The next several months are sure to tell the story.
