Since Victoria Woodhull launched her symbolic bid for the presidency in 1872, a large number of women have desired the presidency over the past 150 years. Their goal began a long time before women won the vote, and it unfolded over years whenever a woman's pursuit of any higher political office was met with prejudice, mockery, and hostility. Even after women started out voting in 1920, they remained shut out of rooms where presidential candidacies were often born. Whether a woman will break through the wine glass ceiling through the current election pattern is uncertain, Fitzpatrick acknowledges. But it will happen sooner or later.
