This is not meant to take away from Geraldine Ferraro or what she did, but to educate and point out the shortcomings of the American media.
Geraldine Ferraro was not the first female Vice Presidential candidate. Back in 1884, Marietta Stow was the Vice Presidential candidate for the National Equal Rights Party. The Presidential candidate was another woman, Belva Ann Lockwood.
Over the decades several other women have been Vice Presidential candidates
with minimal success. Then in 1972 the Libertarian Party ran Theodora
N. Nathan as their candidate and she became the first woman to receive
an electoral vote when elector Roger L. MacBride of Virginia voted for the
Libertarian ticket.
