Geraldine Ferraro

Geraldine Anne Ferraro (born August 26, 1935) is best known as the first and, so far, only woman to be a candidate for Vice President of the United States on a major party ticket (although women on third-party tickets continue to run for the position). She and fellow Democrat Walter Mondale were defeated in a massive landslide by the re-election campaign of President Ronald Reagan and Vice-President George H. W. Bush in the 1984 election.
