That one was a bit odd. Hillary was 'famous' after being first lady but
seemed to be unpopular, even among women voters.. plus it's hard to say
if the USA was ready for a female President. Perhaps most would argue
they are but I wonder if that would work out at the voting polls...

She did get lots of votes but I suspect it was more voting for the
Party rather than for the person.

Right or wrong I think Canada might be more likely to elect a woman
for Prime Minister but we'd never really know until one runs seriously.

We did briefly have a woman Prime Minister (Kim Campbell) for a few
months in 1993, but she was only in power because the elected Prime
Minister resigned and she took over until the next election, and then
she lost in one of the worst Party defeats in history...
