This project currently identifies 5,104 U. S. women candidates who campaigned for elective office between 1850 and 1920. Find biographical information for each woman, information about her campaigns, party affiliation, photographs, and lists of selected resources. We estimate that thousands of women ran in well over 7,000 campaigns by 1920. Combined searching can locate women by office, state, party, and other factors. For information on individual women click on the Information on Candidates button. For information on all the women who campaigned in a state, by date, or for a particular office, click on the Information on Campaigns button.
