She Was The First Woman To Work On Wall Street As A Stockbroker, And She Also Was The Very First Woman To Ever Run For President In America

Unfortunately, in 1872, the newspaper was shut down after they published an article about a scandal involving preacher Henry Ward Beecher and the owners were charged with obscenity.

During this time, Victoria continued to advocate for women’s rights vocally and was a prominent public speaker. She spoke at numerous suffrage conventions and was the first woman to testify before a U.S. House of Representatives committee.

In 1871, Victoria bravely decided to run for president of the United States. She became the candidate for the Equal Rights Party in 1872, which she was influential in establishing. But unfortunately, many didn’t take Victoria seriously during her presidential campaign.

Most of the discrimination Victoria faced was due to her gender, and the legal issues surrounding her newspaper during her run didn’t help her reputation. As a result, Victoria lost the 1872 to Ulysses S. Grant with zero electoral votes.

Victoria divorced her second husband and moved to England in 1877. There, she supported the British women’s suffrage movement and published the magazine The Humanitarian alongside her daughter, Zulu.

Victoria passed away in England at 88 in 1927. Although she may not have won the presidential election, she paved the way for women who hope to become the first American female president one day.
