The idea of a female president of the United States has been explored in various media representations.[a] In film and television,[b] fictional characters such as Betty Boop and Lisa Simpson have been depicted as President of the United States. In music, singers such as Ariana Grande have envisioned women in charge of the American presidency. Similarly, novels written by various individuals, including Newt Gingrich, chronicle the tenure of a fictional female American president. Across these media representations, historical female figures, such as Elizabeth Warren, have also been the subject of hypothetical presidential administrations.
In actuality, no woman has been elected to or served in the office of President of the United States.[1] However, in 2016, Hillary Clinton became the first woman to win the popular vote in an American presidential election.[2] Additionally, in 2021, Kamala Harris became the first woman to hold American presidential powers.[3]
