She and her sisters were the first female stockbrokers on Wall Street. She also has been called the first woman to address Congress, but some people say that honor belongs to Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

There isn't a satisfactory answer to that question. One of the reasons is that supposedly some of the election officials just laughed at the votes for her and threw them away. The votes for her do not appear to have been officially tallied. A search of the National Archives could answer with certainty whether the votes were counted or not.)
