'A Woman For President: The Story of Victoria Woodhull' by Kathleen Krull is a young reader's biography of a woman who played an important role in the women's right movement in America. Victoria Woodhull grew up in America during the mid-1800's when women were denied many fundamental rights. Women were not allowed to go to college, to vote, or to independently own property. Victoria Woodhull set out to change this. Through hard work, perserverance, and courage, she took on the established male-dominated institutions of the day. Learn how Victoria Woodhull became the first woman to be nominated for the Office of President of the United States.
