Talk about a groundbreaker! Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to run for U.S. president in 1872, when American women did not even have the right to vote. She and her sister also were the first women in the nation to run a stock trading business. And Woodhull was among the first American women to publish a weekly newspaper. But Woodhulls life was more than a list of firsts. She was a passionate advocate of womens and workers rights. She joined the suffrage movement, supported labor unions, and demanded change in issues ranging from divorce laws to education. She dared to discuss subjects that many people thought she be kept silent. Such fearless earned her fame, controversy, and even jail time. Yet few people today know the story of this early feminist. This fascinating biography explores Victoria Woodhulls extraordinary life.
