Portrait of an early 19th century white woman with blond hair

Woman for President: The Story of Victoria Woodhull

Age Level:
Middle Grade
Published:
2006

Overcoming a difficult childhood, Victoria took control of her own destiny in sometimes unorthodox ways and became the first woman to run for U.S. President in 1872 before women even had the right to vote (Frederick Douglass was nominated to run as Vice President). Photorealistic illustrations add to this remarkable tale of a woman who was truly ahead of her time.
