Women's rights advocate Elizabeth Cady Stanton organized the women's suffrage movement in the U.S. and was the first woman to run for what office?

Despite not yet having the vote (as a woman), Stanton ran for national office, because there was no law preventing her from doing so. She became the first woman to run for Congress, aiming for a seat in New York. She won 24 votes – not enough to get her elected, but enough to make history.
