Who will be the first female President of the United States?

[Skill and Chance]

I am pessimistic about this.  It was 32 years from Al Smith, the first Catholic nominee, losing in 1928 to JFK winning in 1960 and 24 years from Jesse Jackson's first Dem primary run to Obama's win.

I think a woman who doesn't currently hold elected office will win the presidency sometime in the 2040's.  She will be someone born in the 1990's or later.

Nikki Haley 2024 would be an option, assuming she's nominated as SoS for a Trump second term and Pence declines to run in 2024 (or, alternatively Haley is probably a strong VP contender for Pence should he ascend to the office due to a Trump resignation/impeachment)

I think its much more likely at this point that the first female president is a Republican than a Democrat.  Most other female presidents/prime ministers from other Western countries have come from the center-right.

I do agree with this and 2016 obviously made it much more likely.  However, 2016 also made it much more likely that the first Hispanic president will be a Democrat.
