The Remarkable Story of the First Female US Presidential Candidate

- A woman who led one of the most remarkable lives of anyone of her era despite being largely forgotten by history thanks in part to the fact that she was too extreme for even the women's rights and suffragists movements, who conveniently very intentionally wrote her out of their history despite her massive contributions to the cause. This is the story of Victoria "Badass" Claflin Woodhull and her vie for the office of President of the United States.

Good show Simon. This is an important story to preserve, and her memory deserves to be remembered. Well done man! Well done.
👏🙌🤝 Good comment Gibran Bedra,I love valid appreciation, rarley seen these days. Sending live from Sacramento CA ✌💜🌌

Browsing RUclips is like playing "Where's Waldo" only Waldo is bald, bearded, and named Simon.
Lol
Don’t make the same mistake get keeps before it’s to late 😂
Colonel James Blood, sounds like an awesome husband, plus that name and title combo is just 👌
AND he is from MY home state of Missouri (a.k.a. Misery)! Why have I NEVER heard any of this before in 43 years?
Col. Blood was was not an "awesome husband." He was a hardcore alcoholic and that led to their divorce in 1876. Woodhull's free love ideas made her popular with some of the nation's wealthiest men, particularly Cornelius Vanderbilit. That connection made her rich. Woodhull did feel sorry for Blood and gave him financial support after their divorce.
I'm a single momma and *I'm definitely going to tell my 8yo little girl about this badass lady!* Annd we live in New Mexico and I took her with me to vote for U.S. president today!!

WHOOO HOO!! good for you for voting, I am nit old enough yet being 13 but I am very excited about where we are headed, sending love from Sacramento CA 💜✌🌌, you and your child have a wonderful day 🇺🇸.
She has a wonderful mom
@@apeiceofgarbage9848 u r not garbage, bro
You've every right to be proud. We sent in our ballots soon after receiving them.
And you can bet my daughter will be learning about this woman, as well. I remember in school wondering why so few women made an impact in history. It's not women, it's the writers of the curriculum who decide even incredible women like this aren't worth mentioning.
@@sandybarnes887 thank you Sandy
This was a nice surprise.
I find that a 20ish minute video is the perfect length for my attention span. I feel that the shorter videos seem to end just as I'm getting into them.
Great stuff with this one!
I love this woman! She was ahead of her time. I wonder: would she be proud of the rights modern women have or would she think the fight for equality is not nearly over? Such an impressive woman!
I feel that she would be glad at the progress we have made(perhaps not the speed of it), while still feeling that there is work to be done.
She was a eugenicist
@@chasebarber6154
Exactly right.
"I love this women who advocating for constantly cheating on their husbands!" Takes notes fellas, any dame supporting her isn't a good one by any means.
@@LickMyMusketBallsYankee thats not what she said, tf are you on about? Her point was for women not to be forced into relationships they did not wish to be in.
Woodhull's story that should be better known.
*_[why can't we just revive her instead of dealing with current politicians?]_*
With enough smelling salts... ;-) -Daven
Agree.. She sounds compelling (though how much of that is simon :D)
@@HighlightHistory 🤨 Ooooh, I want to see this. Just going to grab some popcorn and a chair.
@@ktaragorn seriously?! In one sentence u downgraded everything she accomplished, her amazing writing and speaking by giving the credit to a man. No offense to Simon, but the credit goes to her, and that way of thinking, "that its just him that makes it sound good" taking credit from women's accomplishments is all u have left, the woman's movement will never stop until everyone has equal rights, and its thanks to women like Woodhull that made it possible for a woman like me to tell you a man how it is.
Why not? She's still voting in Detroit.
Did a project on her back in college! So glad to see you talking about her. She is definitely overshadowed with later suffragettes due to her “radical” ideas which, let’s face it, would cause pearl clutching even now.
I do appreciate that she was an advocate to that women do not have to be sexual slaves to their husbands though. Back in this time there was no concept of marital rape and if a woman wasn't in the mood she wouldn't be able to report it or complain if her husband raped her. Even the concept of being married without sex at all is a pretty relevant idea and relevant for people like asexual individuals or other. I grew up in the Christian belt of the South myself, currently work under the social work and mental health Spectrum and you would be surprised how many women in my hometown that are married think they are not allowed to say they are not in the mood to their husbands, seriously! I used to be friends with a woman who blamed herself when her husband sexually assaulted her and claimed "It was my own fault, I shouldn't have said no. I'm his wife."
@@gracehaven5459 that this mindset exists at all, and that it's advocated by the adventists (and probably others I'm not aware of) in this day and age, blows my mind. What is wrong with people?
Loved to learn about her- thank you for sharing! Great show
Really loving the content on this channel. Thanks to Simon and the rest of the team, keep them coming!
Good episode Simon, her story is inspiring enough to be preserved and she deserved to be remembered by the American people 🇺🇲. Even in North Korea, a female President will be appointed after my death.
I thought you were already dead and replaced by a body double.
This is sad because this isn't a joke or for personal gain (whether personal gain is bad or not isn't the point), you're actually embodying this person to the point where you feel genuine on your transformation of not being yourself.
@@spetterman2916 Scary not-fun fact, his sister who controls the entire state media is actually the most powerful person in North Korea. When FatAss The Hypocrite finally has the good grace to drop dead, it's extremely likely she will simply take over ruling the country.
When are you going to send me her number. She's sooooo hot.🤤
@@spetterman2916 Um, you mean he's not the real Kim?
A Simon Whistler channel I hadn't heard of?
Subscribed.🤩😍
RUclips can never have enough Simon Whistler!
One of the best episodes you've done, absolutely loved this!
I like history ,and I am so glad I found this channel . Thanks for such a good video.
Please make playlists! Great vid!
And yet there are still endless countries, where women go from daughterhood to wifehood to motherhood to be freed by death. It's still a topic, sadly.
Most women do not have a problem having a family. Mostly sexist feminist. A man(most) works his but off in back breaking labor work only to be freed by death as well. We keep the world going when we work together. There are certain things men do better just like there are things women do better. One thing most women do better is Nurturing children. While men go to war and do back breaking jobs. You do not see many women assembling heavy equip.
@@ninjastomp1 Women can alao works their asses off to support a family and men can be great dads.
Just forcing someone to do either is shit.
@@ninjastomp1 Where in the above statement did you infer that the author believes: most women have a problem having a family. I didn't see that as part of her observation.
Weird upload time but I’ll take any new Whistler content! She seemed well ahead of her time.
Ditto
That was my first thought when i just saw it was released 2 hours ago and i checked my clock
A life lived that everyone should know about! Thanks for taking this story.
I couldn't watch the end of the video. It made ma sad that such an awesome woman is slowly destroyed by hypocrites. I would have loved to know her. I am glad to have learned of her.
Nice, a long episode is the best
Just when I thought I was already subscribed to all of Simon's channels another one pops up lol
Thank you
Would love if you would do a biographics or a highlight history about Shirley Chisolm, the first black woman to run for President and the first black congresswoman ever. Her ties to the LGBTQ community are also groundbreaking, a very interesting person and story indeed.
Thanks for this! I am descended from her sister.
In your "how democracy dies" video, you made a few mentions of how media influences voters. i would tend to say that by and large media is what has been a driving force in the change we are seeing now, from brexit to the divisiveness in the us. i enjoyed the video and was glad to learn a bit more about our history and am disappointed that some of this was not more clearly taught in our history classes. Even the susan b anthony story was VERY glossed over and what little you shared eclipsed it.
Though I find this show so captivating, being an old goat, haha, I must rewind to hear and take it all in! (You speak so quickly!) keep up the good work though!
Just a quick FYI, you can slow the audio to 3/4 speed in the settings (3 dots in the right of the screen or a little cog). That might make it easier for you
Well told busy Simon😉
Does anyone know what happened to Victoria's father once he was ran out of town?
If this was one of your other channels Simon, the fact that both sisters husbands died in the same year would be suspicious! 🔥

My hometown is so close to where she lived out her final days and I have only just heard of her...
And all of those people would be horrified if they visited modern day California
This is very true, I see people saying she would be a feminist today but nearly everyone back then would absolutely hate today’s society
Iowa 1st! Julia Addington first elected woman in the nation 1869 Stacyville Iowa, 17 miles Northwest of Riceville, where Jane Elliott did the "Blue eyes/Brown eyes" exercise.
What a brilliantly amazing lady
She really was ahead of her time, maybe TOO ahead, perhaps that's one of the biggest reasons why she ultimately failed. If a person in the 10th-century claimed that they have figured out how to get people to the moon, regardless of whether their idea was scientifically sound they would be seen as a lunatic. People, and especially society, resist change, and to expect a society to accept such drastic changes as her ideals would require either a miracle or some sort of utter disaster that reshuffled the human species at the time.
Catherine Beecher's schools were famous at the time as well (the third sibling)
Meanwhile in Ancient Egypt they used to have several women in power: Nefertari and Nefertiti more than 3000 thousand years ago!
holy shit. what a legend.
Good video 👍
Its a 25 minute video, and put this comment within the first minute of posting... how could you know that?
@@nolesrule69069 All these videos are good
@@TheEvilCommenter can't argue that. Just seems more like you're trying to get internet points. Lol. But hey, I'm a loser commenting on comments on RUclips. Have a good one. You win this one. Lol
She wasn't fucking around..figuratively.😂😂😂
Goodnight all from Michigan! Keep up the good work on all your channels, Simon
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Bloody Hell Simon, how many channels do you have? Are you trying to take over the entire RUclips?
Gracie Allen also ran for President. I don't think it was a serious campaing. She called her party "The Surprise Party".
I swore you done vide on this lady on biographics. Correction it was on your today I found out channel.
I am only saddened that this video won't let me "like" it twice.
She sound amazing and impressive.
I think she would have been an excellent president.
17:00 Wow. The truth hurts.
Another channel Simon ?
One of 11
Colonel Blood? A descendant of the thief of the crown jewels? That would be awesome
20:43
Playing this in the background while I get my ex-flatmate (thanks UK, I think that sounds better than roommate) crap together to throw out, when I realized "Holy crap, it's a Highlight video over 20 mins!" Lmao
If she was alive, she would be one of those very widely hated girls with blue hair. Things changed, but somehow they remained somewhat the same :-/
If she was still alive she wouldn’t still be an activist, the problems people face are so small today compared to then
Everyone's a feminist until the boat starts sinking...
What a completely stupid and ignorant comment.
I'd love to know about more obscure candidates for the U.S.
21:00 That's insane.
Here in PR a candidate is pretty much like her with the exception that she is also an Atheist. I was going to vote for her, I was ALL in, until she said in one of the debates that she is all for a red light district in Puerto Rico. 😤
I'm sorry, but no.
That is literally the only reason I'm not voting for her. Like, an island that has a epidemic of divorces, STIs, AIDS, violence against woman, violence against LGBTQ+, and violence against children needs to be more amoral.
A red light district isn't going to solve those issues, it will only compound them.
She is one of those people that is so smart she 360° all the way to dumb again...
Damn the last time I was this early the rooster was still snoozing his alarm. Or something like that.
Really think this channel needs a bit of Blaze added into the mix. I want to see Simons opinions/reactions. *slaps a script* Get on it. Lmao.
Heck yeah.
Love it when other people with the same name as me kick some ass.
Great video. I especially enjoyed the voter fraud in PA.
💜!:-)💜💜💜
23:10 - Bonus fact n°1
23:35 - Bonus fact n°2
She sounds like a throughly despicable human being
You've got a lot of weird followers, Simon. Oh wait, that's right. It's RUclips.
Why is this not a biographic? Nice vid though
1: 100% That Bitch. HELL YES. 2: This needs to also be made into a buisness blaze or political blaze video... cause more of this please!
Victoria Woodhull also pioneered eugenics, doing so before Francis Galton coined the term. Just before she died she praised *Buck v. Bell* (1927) in the *New York Times* for making forced sterilization constitutional. You can find her pioneering writings on that in *Lady Eugenist* And Woodhull was much like Margaret Sanger, founder of today's Planned Parenthood, whose early board included Lothrop Stoddard, author of *The Rising Tide of Color against White World Supremacy* - and yes it is about just what its title says it is about. Woodhull is "badass" only if that term includes using almost any means to keep down the birthrates of those regarded as "unfit." She was a very evil woman.
Nobody is going to be perfect, I think it's important to acknowledge both her contributions to equal rights and celebrate that, and her more harmful views. She created significant positive change, which is important to celebrate, while also acknowledging her negative impacts.
This lady was woke af
If you want to delve into the history of women voting and holding office you need to look at Wyoming, yes Wyoming.
Hey! I’m early
Simon! Take a day off!
Earlyy
So Simon.
Thanks for being our friend.
She probaly kept the name for her kids. M mom did.
Allowing women to run for political office causes COVID!
Allowing men to run for political office causes war and destruction.
Unfortunately this is not a joke.

Ah yes the free market... you know what the US had when the Robber Baron Class was created.
@@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas Nope. Here is a link to the award winning economist Milton Friedman speaking on the robber baron myth. ruclips.net/video/dmzZ8lCLhlk/видео.html .
Marriages that force a woman to have relations whenever her husband wants are barbaric. I just realized that people thought that way.
Just as an aside, per Jewish law, heck, per the Bible, it's the other way. It's the man who has the responsibility to ensure his wife is satisfied! I'm not sure where that bit of misogyny comes from.
Simon Simon Simon... I'm starting to think that you create a new channel everytime your child goes through growing pains. Can't sleep at night? Do what my fiancé did: move to the living room and sleep on the floor if necessary. We've since move elsewhere and the kids' bedroom is at the end of the hallway.
I can't believe I've never heard of her before. Honestly, the second I stopped trying to force myself to be monogamous my relationships fucking blossomed. It's so mindblowing how loving and open you can be when you're not constantly paranoid that someone might 'steal your man' because like...go for it we can negotiate boundaries and all be happy anyway.
With qualifications like that she certainly exceeds Trump !
Simon do you even sleep Jesus..!

Those freedoms are working well in society today. Birth rates far below replacement, keep up the good work ladies.
There are 7.5 billion people in the world today (double of what it was only 50 years ago) and low birth rates correspond with a high standard of living.
@@erraticonteuse thank goodness for all the sacrifices and hard work from men to provide that standard of living.
@@oneronin6186 Yes because no women did anything to increase the standard of living during that time.
There is no winning with sexists like you.
No children but successful career: selfish, cold, not a real woman.
Married with children and no job or part time job: dependent, no ambition, lazy, a burden to men.
Single/ divorced with children, working: bad mother.
Single/ divorced with children, needing social transfers: a burden to society, lazy and most likely sleeping around.
I am sure you are able to add more negative stereotypes and prejudices.
@@oneronin6186
Actually a lot of men just leave and don’t take care in any way. That’s why smart women keep working instead of having several children.
