Hilary Clinton was the first female in the history of US election to be listed in primary and caucus nationwide. She did not end up nominating but made history as a democratic primaries candidate. She later became the first woman ever to run for president by a major party.

The same year, Cynthia McKinney ran as Green Party representative. This was the first time the Green party had a female candidate. McKinney also made history as she is African-American.
