For a woman to consider a financial question was shuddered over as a profanity.
Victoria Woodhull
I now announce myself as candidate for the Presidency. I anticipate criticism but however unfavorable I trust that my sincerity will not be called into question.
Victoria Woodhull
If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government?

No man who respects his mother or loves his sister, can speak disparagingly of any woman however low she may seem to have sunk, she is still a woman. I want every man to remember this. Every woman is, or, at some time, has been a sister or daughter.
Victoria Woodhull
The uses of government should be to foster, protect and promote the possession of equality.
Victoria Woodhull
I endeavor to make the most of everything.
Victoria Woodhull
Women have every right they just have to excercise them.
Victoria Woodhull
I went with my husband and an innocent child to California. I went to a theatrical manager and asked him to allow me to earn money enough on the stage to buy our tickets home. He did.
Victoria Woodhull
The sin of all time has been the exercise of assumed powers. This is the essence of tyranny.
Victoria Woodhull
I and others of my sex find ourselves controlled by a form of government in the inauguration of which we had no voice.
Victoria Woodhull
I would like above any other place to go to Hartford. I want to face the conservatism there centered and compel it into decency.
Victoria Woodhull
I believed that a husband must necessarily be an angel, impossible of corruption or contamination.
Victoria Woodhull
I ask the rights to pursue happiness by having a voice in that government to which I am accountable.
