... Victoria Woodhull would be a woman who defied the social norms of her time.
Victoria California Claflin was born in Homer, Ohio on September 23,1838. ... She was only 15 years old when she was married for the first time to Canning Woodhull. ...
Victoria would offer her help and hospitality to anyone. ... With Vanderbilt’s continued help Victoria and her sister Tennessee Chaflin established their own brokerage firm named "Woodhull, Claflin & Company" (Levine, 1991). With help from a socialist reformer named Stephen Andrews and Victoria’s lover Colonial James Blood, they started a newspaper named “Woodhull and Claflin’s Weekly”. ...
The Equal Rights Party nominated Victoria for the U. ...
The constitution required a natural born "citizen" to run for the presidency, and since Woodhull was a woman (not a citizen) she didnt meet the constitutional requirements. Some people fail to see Victoria Woodhull as the first woman to run for the President of the United States because she was under the constitutionally mandated age of thirty-five.
