14 women who have run for President of the United States

Hillary Clinton just made history: As of June 7, she is the first woman ever to lead a major party's presidential ticket.

On the night she clinched the Democratic party nomination, Clinton made a speech to commemorate her historic achievement.

"Yes, there are still ceilings to break for women and men for all of us," she said. "But don't let anyone tell you that great things can't happen in America. Barriers can come down."

But Clinton isn't the only American woman who's made a bid for the White House. For more than 100 years, a handful of diverse and accomplished women paved the way before her. Here's a look at their stories.
