More quotes by Victoria Woodhull
To go behind a man's hall-door is mean, cowardly, unfair opposition.
Victoria Woodhull
It makes no difference who or what you are, old or young, black or white, pagan, Jew, or Christian, I want to love you all and be loved by you all, and I mean to have your love.
Victoria Woodhull

Victoria Woodhull
I do not assume to speak for anyone. I know I speak in direct opposition to the wishes of many by whom I am surrounded.
Victoria Woodhull
It must always be remembered that you can never do right until you are first free to do wrong since the doing of a thing under compulsion is evidence neither of good nor bad intent and if under compulsion, who shall decide what would be the substituted rule of action under full freedom?
Victoria Woodhull
Suffrage is a common right of citizenship. Women have the right of suffrage. Logically it cannot be escaped.
Victoria Woodhull
A new educational system in which all children born shall have the same advantage of physical, industrial, mental and moral culture, and thus be equally prepared at maturity to enter upon active, responsible and useful lives. . . . In so doing, it strikes a fatal blow at . . . the most demoralizing of all monopolies. . . educational superiority.
Victoria Woodhull
Strike as much and as hard as you please, only don't do it in the dark so that I cannot know who is my enemy.
Victoria Woodhull
The will of the entire people is the true basis of republican government, and a free expression . . . by the public vote of all citizens, without distinctions of race, color, occupation, or sex, is the only means by which that will can be ascertained.
