Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to do many things: the first woman to own a newspaper, to speak before Congress, and to have a seat on the stock exchange. But her boldest act was announcing herself as the first female candidate for the presidency of the United States in 1872—before women even had the right to vote.
Arguably one of the most revolutionary women in American history, she was many years ahead of her time, braking boundaries. But her presidential campaign, and the backlash it sparked, left her in political ruin and bankruptcy. Amazingly, her name has been practically erased from history.
Acclaimed biographer Kathleen Krull and beloved illustrator Jane Dyer combine their talents to bring one of the most fascinating personalities in U.S. history back to life for young readers.

Woman for President: The Story of Victoria Woodhull
Raise your hand if you've heard of Victoria Woodhull before. I hadn't either. Turns out she was a spiritualist who connected Cornelius Vanderbilt with his dead mother. Also, she was the first woman to own a stock trading company and to run for President. Legendary abolitionist Frederick Douglass was nominated as her Vice President, for cryin' out loud! That's awesome! And yet, it took me 45 years to learn of her existence. Sure, Douglass declined the VP nomination, and Woodhull lost the election to Ulysses S. Grant. But c'mon. Woodhull deserves a better fate than near annihilation from our nation's collective memory.
Amanda picked out A Woman for President: The Story of Victoria Woodhull as an empowering bed time read for our 5-year-old daughter. Siggy loved the read, including a few ooo's over Jane Dyer's bright watercolor illustrations. An educational and inspiring work of interest to parents and children alike.
