Radical Suffragist

Daniel talks with Lois Underhill, the author of the book "The Woman Who Ran For President: The Many Lives of Victoria Woodhull." She was the first woman to run for President in the U.S. and to address a Congressional committee. She was also the first to have a brokerage firm on Wall Street in New York City. The book chronicles Woodhull's life in the late 1800's.
