The Improbable Victoria Woodhull: Suffrage, Free Love, And The First Woman To Run For President

Part of our Truths in Our Time Series “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” -Mark Twain

Before women could vote, Victoria Woodhull ran for president. She also ran a Wall Street brokerage, launched a scandalous newspaper, and exposed one of the country’s most famous pastors in a sex scandal—earning both fame and prison time. In The Improbable Victoria Woodhull, bestselling author Eden Collinsworth tells the gripping true story of a poor girl from Ohio who claimed to talk to the dead, made a fortune, challenged every social norm, and faced down a court with her reputation on the line. It’s a wild, deeply human tale of ambition, sisterhood, reinvention, and the price of speaking too boldly—then and now.
