Description

Selected to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment, this one-woman play explores the life of Victoria Woodhull, the woman who ran for President of the United States in 1872, through a contemporary lens.  Woodhull appears today wondering if she has left any legacy.  Flashbacks of her life, coupled with her commentary, explore how we can make a better world.  What would she think about the state of women’s rights and social issues today?
