In 1872 Victoria Woodhull became the first woman to campaign for US President. AMERICA’S VICTORIA is a wonderful chronicle of the life of one of the most important and unrecognized women in US history. Although she was a radical suffragist, she refused to restrict her Presidential campaign to the issue of women’s suffrage. Instead, she advocated a single sexual standard for men and women, legalization of prostitution and reform of marriage. AMERICA’S VICTORIA combines rare archival images, Woodhull’s own words (read by Kate Capshaw), and illuminating interviews with contemporary feminists such as Gloria Steinem to present a fascinating portrait of this remarkably brave woman.
- “Knowing about Victoria Woodhull inspires women to be daring, outrageous and creative.” ~ Gloria Steinem
- “This is an important figure in American history who has been wrongly neglected.” ~ Richard Fox, Brown University
