Do you want to learn about the first woman who ran for President? Not Hillary Clinton but Victoria Woodhull who ran in 1872, on the Equal Rights Party. Her platform highlighted equal rights for women, including the right to vote. “Like many politicians of her time and ours, Woodhull had affairs, used scandal to her advantage and made lots of money during her political career,” I wrote in my review of this excellent historical novel, Madame Presidentess by Nicole Evalina. Oval picture is of Victoria Woodhull by the famous photographer Matthew Brady, circa 1870's. Read my review at https://www.expandthetable.net/madame-presidentess
