It's election season here in the US, so we're revisiting the life of the very first woman to run for the American Presidency in 1872. Victoria Woodhull crafted a life for herself from very raw materials when she traveled from an abusive childhood to an aristocratic end and, throughout it all, was a woman ahead of her time.
