List of American women's firsts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sally Ride was the first American woman to become an astronaut.

Traditional writings from the past have often left out the accomplishments of women; the same pattern of neglect repeated itself in even earlier American history. However, in the last half-century, there has been a significant amount of writing and research dedicated to balancing the American history curriculum, specifically on the basis of sex.

    In June 1848, two male-organized conventions discussed the rights of women: The Conference of Badasht in Persia, at which Táhirih advocated women's rights and took off her veil; and the National Liberty Party Convention in New York at which presidential candidate Gerrit Smith established a party plank of women's suffrage after much debate.
