The Woman Who Ran for President: The Many Lives of Victoria Woodhull

xvii, 347 pp. "This remarkable biography captures the strength and spirit of Victoria Woodhull, the controversial feminist who rose up from poverty to become the first woman Wall Street broker, the first woman to testify before Congress (for suffrage), and, in 1872, the first woman to run for U.S. President. "An utterly fascinating, overdue tribute to an extraordinary feminist maverick."--Booklist"
