Woodhull For President

Don't know who Victoria Woodhull is? She was once the most famous woman in America AND she is the subject of our next documentary!

 


Victoria Woodhull

Victoria Woodhull (September 23, 1838-June 10, 1927) is truly one of Ohio's most remarkable characters. Coming from a poverty-stricken background and with little education, she managed to become the first woman to publicly address the United States Congress, first woman to run for U.S. president, was an active suffragist, newspaper editor and stockbroker -- she accomplished more than anyone would have expected.

Writer Kelly Boyer Sagert will write our script and Director Peter Huston of FilmAffects will be handling the filming duties. Huston calls this "... a great story." and Sagert says that she "... has been fascinated by Victoria Woodhull for decades and is thrilled with the opportunity to delve into Woodhull's rich and complex life."

Victoria was the first woman to push her way onto the political stage. She ran a newspaper and became a stockbroker. As Victoria put it, “I endeavor to make the most of everything.” And that’s a goal we all should try to achieve — she sure did!

Our storytelling program about this fascinating female was completed in 2019 and during the fall of 2023, we began filming the documentary! Kate Luke is our Victoria and Debra Rose tells the story of this remarkable Ohioan. Aspen Bott is our young Victoria. We are working for a premiere presentation in the fall of 2024. Be sure to check this page for regular updates. In the meantime, you can see some short clips from the film.
