	Victoria Woodhull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Woodhull, who claimed he was a medical doctor, met Victoria in 1853 when her family called him to treat her for an illness.
		Victoria believed women should have the choice to leave unbearable marriages, and she rallied against the hypocrisy of married men having mistresses and other sexual alliances.
		Victoria Woodhull was 34 at the time, making her a year too young to legally run for President of the United States, and her name did not technically appear on the ballot; like many of Woodhull's protests, this was first and foremost a media performance, designed to shake up the prejudices of the day.

		Victoria's spiritualism usually is dismissed as a fad by historians, but in studying her, I realized that many of her beliefs were a utopian version of what people already accepted.
