Victoria Woodhull was born on September 23, 1838 in Homer, Ohio. She was an activist, stockbroker, journalist, and politician. She was the first women stockbroker. She advocated the 8-hour workday, graduated income tax, social welfare program, and profit sharing. In 1872, she was nominated for the United States presidency by the Equal Rights party. The nomination made her the most famous women in the country during that time. Although few seriously thought Victoria would win, they knew her campaign would send a message to Washington. Running out of funds, Victoria had to withdraw from the presidential race. Imagine the changes in history if she had not been forced to withdraw. It’s time for a woman in the White House.

Victoria Woodhull was a woman 100 years ahead of her time. She was a wonderful person who cared for everyone. She fed the hungry, cared for the sick, and visited the prisoners. She was a unique women whom has given women today the courage to fight and do what most women don’t do. She has made women realize that if she can run for president before women even had the right to vote, that the power of women truly is endless.

Victoria Woodhull is every bit the lady in this image. Her hat is very stylish, as is her dress, though the dress is much more conservative. One can guess that she means what she says and that the woman in the picture is highly intelligent. The profile view of the image makes it hard to analyze the expression on her face, but one can see from the line of her chin that she is not antagonistic or rebellious, yet not downcast or ill-used either. The viewer gets the impression of strength and intelligence, two important qualities in a president.
