 From the trading floor of Wall Street to the campaign trail, Victoria Woodhull was a force to be reckoned with. Sadly, her scandalous presidential campaign ends in disaster, and she spends election night in a cell. She’s been arrested for trying to expose the hypocrisy of one of America's most revered figures, the preacher Henry Ward Beecher, and his secret affair. Victoria Woodhull’s explosive confrontation with societal hypocrisy caused her downfall and eventual departure for England. Discover the surprising and complex final chapter of her life, as this former champion of radical freedoms embraced the controversial pseudoscience of eugenics. How should we remember the "future president" – as a pioneering feminist or a figure whose legacy is deeply complicated by her later views? Join David Olusoga and Sarah Churchwell to explore the full, contradictory life of a woman who dared to defy every expectation.
