More quotes by Victoria Woodhull
For a woman to consider a financial question was shuddered over as a profanity.
Victoria Woodhull

Victoria Woodhull
Is it fair to treat a woman worse than a man, and then revile her because she is a woman?
Victoria Woodhull
There is something wrong with a government that makes women the legal property of their husbands. The whole system needs changing, but men will never make the changes. They have too much to lose.
Victoria Woodhull
I boldly entered the arena of business and exercised the rights I already possessed.
Victoria Woodhull
The rights of children as individuals begin while yet they remain the foetus.
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
Women have no government.
Victoria Woodhull
There are none so ignorant but they may be taught. So, too, are there none so unfortunate in their understanding of the true and high relation of the sexes as not to be amenable to the right kind of instruction.
