EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mrs. Woodhull Asserting Her Right to Vote" captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the determination and resilience of suffragist Victoria Woodhull. The engraving, originally published in Harper's Weekly on November 25,1871, depicts Woodhull as she bravely attempts to exercise her right to vote. In this nostalgic image, we witness Woodhull standing tall with her arm raised in defiance at a polling place. Surrounded by officials and voters wearing top hats, the scene portrays the challenges faced by single women seeking justice and equal rights during the 19th century. The rejected ballot box symbolizes the struggle for gender equality that defined this era of American history. This powerful visual serves as a reminder of the tireless efforts made by suffragettes like Victoria Woodhull who fought against societal norms to secure voting rights for women. With its retro aesthetic and historic significance, this print evokes feelings of admiration for those who paved the way for democracy and social movements. It stands as a testament to freedom and liberation while highlighting ongoing battles for equal representation in government. As we reflect upon this vintage piece from our private collection, it is impossible not to appreciate how far we have come since 1871 while acknowledging that there is still work to be done towards achieving true gender equality in today's world.
