Victoria Claflin Woodhull was the daughter of a snake oil salesman in rural Ohio, a traveling clairvoyant, married thrice, the first woman (with her sister) to be a stock broker, the creator of the first weekly newspaper run by women, the first woman to testify before a congressional committee, AND the first woman to run for US president. Did I mention she was only 34, and it would take 50 more years before (white) women were allowed to vote? And yet…have you heard of her?
