Victoria Woodhull
I was divorced from Dr. Woodhull for reasons which to me were sufficient, but I was never his enemy.
Victoria Woodhull
Why is a woman to be treated differently? Woman suffrage will succeed, despite this miserable guerilla opposition.

Victoria Woodhull
One of the charges made against me is that I lived in the same house with my former husband, Dr. Woodhull, and my present husband, Col. Blood. The fact is a fact.
