Victoria Woodhull
So after all I am a very promiscuous free lover. I want the love of you all, promiscuously.
Victoria Woodhull
Women have no government.
Victoria Woodhull

Victoria Woodhull
The rights of children as individuals begin while yet they remain the foetus...Whoever has read the 'Weekly' knows I hold abortion (except to save the life of the mother) to be just as much murder as the killing of a person after birth is murder.
Victoria Woodhull
A reform in the system of criminal jurisprudence, by which the death penalty shall no longer be inflicted . . . and by which our so-called prisons shall be virtually transformed into vast reformatory workshops, from which the unfortunate may emerge to be useful members of society, instead of the alienated citizens they now are.
Victoria Woodhull
I endeavor to make the most of everything.
Victoria Woodhull
Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an unwished-for child nor think of murdering one before its birth.
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.
Victoria Woodhull
I shall make it my business to take my chances in the matter of libel suits.
Victoria Woodhull
I know that my companions from the moment of birth were heaven's choicest souls. I grew side by side with them, in fact all the education and inspiration came over them.
Victoria Woodhull
Is it fair to treat a woman worse than a man, and then revile her because she is a woman?
Victoria Woodhull
All talk of women's rights is moonshine. Women have every right. They have only to exercise them.
