Suffragist, lecturer, eugenicist, businesswoman, free lover, and
the first woman to run for president of the United States, Victoria
C. Woodhull (1838-1927) has been all but forgotten as a leading
nineteenth-century feminist writer and radical. "Selected Writings
of Victoria Woodhull" is the first multigenre, multisubject
collection of her materials, giving contemporary audiences a
glimpse into the radical views of this nineteenth-century woman who
advocated free love between consensual adults and who was labeled
"Mrs. Satan" by cartoonist Thomas Nast. Woodhull's texts reveal the
multiple conflicting aspects of this influential woman, who has
been portrayed in the past as either a disreputable figure or a
brave pioneer. This collection of letters, speeches, essays, and
articles elucidate some of the lesser-known movements and ideas of
the nineteenth century. It also highlights, through Woodhull's
correspondence with fellow suffragist Lucretia Mott, tensions
within the suffragist movement and demonstrates the changing
political atmosphere and role of women in business and politics in
the late nineteenth century. With a comprehensive introduction
contextualizing Woodhull's most important writing, this collection
provides a clear lens through which to view late nineteenth-century
suffragism, labor reform, reproductive rights, sexual politics, and
spiritualism.
