Producer of Victoria Woodhull documentary, America’s Victoria, Remembering Victoria Woodhull to be guest on ON SECOND THOUGHT
“If you spliced the genes of Hillary Clinton, Madonna, Heidi Fleiss and Margaret Thatcher, you might have someone like Victoria Woodhull.” Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal & Constitution
(MediaQuire) Atlanta, Georgia – Producer of the Victoria Woodhull documentary, Victoria lynn Weston will be a guest on Atlanta’s GPB, On Second Thought.
Atlanta filmmaker Victoria Lynn Weston turned her attention to the story of Victoria Woodhull. She was a clairvoyant, a newspaper publisher of Woodhull & Claflin’s Weekly, a Wall Street trader and the first female presidential candidate. Woodhull ran on the Equal Rights Party ticket in 1872 on a platform of “free love and equal rights for men and women.” Her decision to throw her hat into the ring resonates as Hillary Clinton’s candidacy captures headlines. Weston joins host Celeste Headlee to talk about Woodhull’s politics and viability in the race for president.
Victoria Woodhull burst onto the stage with America s most radical reformers, reoriented their movements, and was gone. People listened to her. A congressional committee reported on her interpretation of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. She was the first woman to run for president of the United States and the first presidential candidate to spend election day in jail. Harriet Beecher Stowe and Catherine Beecher used their cultural leverage to label her a tramp. Anthony Comstock declared war on her for distributing obscene materials. She almost brought an end to Henry Ward Beecher s career. America’s Victoria is a biography of this enigmatic figure in American history, the daughter of a swindling father and a spiritualist mother, who remade herself several times to become a Wall Street broker, a radical reformer, and, with her third husband, a British lady of the manor. The story is told by a narrator, several commentators, and readings from Woodhull s speeches and contemporary documents. –The American Journal of History ABOUT VICTORIA WOODHULL Victoria C.
