Listening to CBS rerun Hillary's gushing announcement about the historic moment in history, my husband looked really puzzled. Reaching back to deep history (he was in high school in the 1950s, Arsenal Technical High School, Indianapolis), he said, "Wasn't there a woman many years ago who ran for president?" "Yes," I said, "Her name was Victoria Woodhull." She was born in Licking County, Ohio, and had a rather interesting, chaotic life which included Wall Street brokerage, free love movement, legalization of prostitution, going through several fortunes, journalism, and numerous husbands.
