Explanation

Between 1920 and 2000, no woman ran for U.S. President on a major (Democratic or Republican) party ticket. While women ran for Vice President (Geraldine Ferraro in 1984) and on third-party tickets, none secured a major party presidential nomination. The first woman nominated for President by a major party was Hillary Clinton in 2016.
