Ever since I learned about Woodhull on a docent tour at the National Portrait Gallery I have NEVER stopped thinking about this one political cartoon of her. I love your work and I wish this cartoon was included in the article bc it's ICONIC.
Subheader states: "Wife (with heavy burden): 'I'd Rather Travel The Hardest Path of Matrimony Than Follow Your Footsteps."
Image Description: Woodhull illustrated with gigantic devil wings and horns holds a poster reading "Be Saved By Free Love" heading down a craggy mountain path. The "wife" heads up the mountain path with a walking stick, holding an infant, with 2 children and her actively drunk husband strapped to her back. She looks over her shoulder with contempt at Woodhull.
This cartoon is such a metaphor for women's issues I literally think about it all the time and send it to people multiple times a year. The hardest path over the free path.

that is SICKKK. i pinned this comment, thanks for sharing!
I think I read that she got men to disclose stock tips when they fell for her but I may have it wrong
If that’s true that’s so funny
That’d be hilarious if true 😂
History is a beautiful thing
Trust me im obsessed!
Oh I can appreciate it. Honestly feminist history is a subject I haven’t touched yet but I’d like to.
Thanks for letting her be a contradictory, organic, messy, amazing person.
Henry being actually kind of hot is super annoying. Like good for him but also, come on now.
This was such a good read- you always find these new angles on historical moments that I had no idea existed!
