Female president of the United States in popular culture explained

The idea of a female president of the United States has been explored by various writers in novels (including science fiction), movies and television, as well as other media. Numerous actresses have portrayed a female president of the United States. Such portrayals have occurred in comedies as well as serious works. Fictional female acting presidents of the United States are not included in this article.

Movies and television

These movies and television shows are American unless stated otherwise:

1920–1999

2000–present

Music

In 2017, a song called "First Woman President", about a fictional first female president of the United States, was released by the American musician Jonathan Mann.[68] [69] The song depicts the female president as having an all-female Cabinet and liberal policies (for example "paid family leave, for both Mom and Dad"), and the singer says it is easy to be proud of his country under her presidency.[69]

In the 2017 music video for "Family Feud" (a song by Jay-Z), Irene Bedard plays a Co-President of the United States in the future.[70] [71]

The 2020 music video for Ariana Grande’s song "Positions" depicts Grande as the President of the United States.[72] [73]

Novels

Female presidents of the United States have often appeared in science-fiction novels. In the 1959 science-fiction novel Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank (the pen name of Harry Hart Frank) President Josephine Vannebuker-Brown, formerly the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, becomes president of the United States because she was the only member of the line of succession to survive nuclear war; this novel was one of the first apocalyptic novels of the nuclear age and consistently ranks in Amazon.com's Top 20 Science Fiction Short Stories list (which groups together short story collections and novels).[74] [75] Other science-fiction novels which feature female presidents of the United States include Carl Sagan’s Contact (1985),[6] K.A. Applegate’s 2001–2003 series Remnants, Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter’s 2005 Sunstorm and 2001 The Light of Other Days, Jack McDevitt’s 1998 Moonfall, Robert J. Sawyer’s 2013 Red Planet Blues, John Shirley's 1985–1990 cyberpunk Eclipse Trilogy of novels, Allen Steele's 2002–2011 Coyote series of novels, and Robert Anton Wilson’s 1979 Schrödinger's Cat Trilogy of novels.[76] [77] [78] [79] [80] [81] [82] [83] [84] [85] [86]

The 1931 play A Woman of Destiny has a woman named Constance Goodwin who becomes president when the male president dies; in 1937, the play was turned into a non-science-fiction novel set in 1943. In it Constance Goodwin leaves the presidency to be a grandmother.[6] In the 1932 book A New Day Dawns by Charles Eliot Blanchard, Jane B. Stanton, a fictional descendant of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, is elected president in 1962. She is a eugenicist, initiating a totalitarian and racist regime.[6] The 1952 novel titled The Dark Mare, by Damsey Wilson, is about the presidency of Miriam Hall Bradley.[6] There is also a female president of the United States in the non-science-fiction novels Shall We Tell the President? (1977) and The Prodigal Daughter (1982), both by Jeffrey Archer, First Hubby (1990), by Roy Blount Jr., and The Woman President (2016), by Erwin Hargrove; in The Prodigal Daughter, First Hubby, and The Woman President the female president obtains her position through the death of the former president.[87] [88] [89] Archer got the inspiration for his female president character Florentyna Kane's political life and rise to the presidency in The Prodigal Daughter from the real-life elections of Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher and Indira Gandhi. Shall We Tell the President? also by Archer, initially featured president Ted Kennedy, but following the success of The Prodigal Daughter and a previous book featuring Kane in earlier life, called Kane and Abel, the character was changed to president Kane in later editions. Mark Dunlea, assistant campaign manager for Sonia Johnson’s presidential campaign in 1984, later wrote a novel about a fictional female American president, Madame President: The Unauthorized Biography of the First Green Party President (published in 2004).[90] [91] The 2010 novel Eighteen Acres (a reference to the 18 acres on which the White House complex sits),[92] by Nicolle Wallace, is about three powerful women: the first female U.S. president (named Charlotte Kramer), her chief of staff, and a White House correspondent.[93] [94] The 2015 novel Duplicity, by Newt Gingrich and Pete Earley, features a woman who becomes America’s first woman president and chooses politics over national interest, resulting in a “Benghazi style attack”.[95] [6] In the 2019 novel Red, White & Royal Blue, by Casey McQuiston, Ellen Claremont is the first female president of the United States, and is running for a second term as president in the year 2020.[65] [96] In the novel Rodham, published in May 2020, on January 20, 2017, Hillary Rodham is elected the first female president, with Terry McAuliffe as her vice president. In the 2022 novel Presidential by Lola Keeley, the U.S. President is Constance "Connie" Calvin, who is openly bisexual and causes scandal by beginning a relationship with her son's lesbian physician.[97]

Stand-up comedy

Some American stand-up comedians, for example Ted Alexandro and Chaunté Wayans, have joked in their stand-up comedy about a fictional woman being president of the United States, and done an impression of such a woman.[98] [99] [100] [101] [102]
