Victoria Woodhull
Hundreds, thousands, aye, millions of human beings, men, women and children, wander the streets of our cities and the highways of our country, hungry, ragged and cold, vainly seeking in this land of plenty, where physical want should be unknown.

Victoria Woodhull
Denounce me for advocating freedom if you can, and I will bear your curse with a better resignation.
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
Is it fair to treat a woman worse than a man, and then revile her because she is a woman?
Victoria Woodhull
Woman, no less than man, can qualify herself for the more onerous occupations of life.
Victoria Woodhull
It is not great wealth in a few individuals that proves a country is prosperous, but great general wealth evenly distributed among the people. . .
Victoria Woodhull
The spirits are coming back to tear your damned system of sexual slavery into tatters and consign its blackened remnants to the depth of everlasting hell.
Victoria Woodhull
The uses of government should be to foster, protect and promote the possession of equality.
