Outlaws: Victoria Woodhull
Victoria Woodhull (1838–1927) was an American stockbroker, publisher, spiritualist, and political force who shattered 19th-century norms with unapologetic ambition. Born into poverty, she rose to become the first woman to open a Wall Street brokerage and the first to run for President of the United States. A fierce advocate for women’s suffrage, labor rights, and free love, Woodhull used her newspaper to expose hypocrisy at the highest levels of religion and polite society. Her radical independence and refusal to be silenced made her a target—she was crucified by the press and branded an outlaw and a heretic. Though later exiled from the spotlight, her legacy continues to inspire trailblazers, feminists, rule-breakers alike, and life creators alike.
