A sometime collaborator with Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, yet never fully accepted into mainstream suffragist circles, Woodhull was a flamboyant social reformer who promoted freedom, especially freedom from societal constraints over intimate relationships. This much we know from the several popular biographies of the nineteenth-century activist. But what we do not know, as Amanda Frisken reveals, is how Woodhull manipulated the emerging popular media and fluid political culture of the Reconstruction period in order to accomplish her political goals. As an editor and public speaker, Woodhull demanded that women and men be held to the same standards in public life. Her political theatrics brought the topic of women's sexuality into the public arena, shocking critics, galvanizing supporters, and finally locking opposing camps into bitter conflict over sexuality and women's rights in marriage. A woman who surrendered her own privacy, whose life was grist for the mills of a sensation-mongering press, she made the exposure of others' secrets a powerful tool of social change. Woodhull's political ambitions became inseparable from her sexual nonconformity, yet her skill in using contemporary media kept her revolutionary ideas continually before her peers. In this way Woodhull contributed to long-term shifts in attitudes about sexuality and the slow liberation of marriage and other social institutions. Using contemporary sources such as images from the "sporting news," Frisken takes a fresh look at the heyday of this controversial women's rights activist, discovering Woodhull's previously unrecognized importance in the turbulent climate of Radical Reconstruction and making her a useful lens through which to view the shifting sexual mores of the nineteenth century. 606 $aFeminists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aWomen$xSuffrage$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSuffragists$zUnited States$vBiography 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aGender Studies. 610 $aWomen's Studies. 615 0$aFeminists 615 0$aWomen$xSuffrage$xHistory. 615 0$aSuffragists 676 $a305.42/092 676 $aB 700 $aFrisken$b Amanda$01519706 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779148003321 996 $aVictoria Woodhull's sexual revolution$93757972 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01563nas 2200469-a 450 001 996417379203316 005 20240111213018.0 011 $a2324-6103 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB2244061-6 035 $a(OCoLC)49214757 035 $a(CKB)110985822459322 035 $a(CONSER)--2007247655 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110985822459322 100 $a20020228b19832014 --- a 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurun||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aAkron tax journal 210 $aAkron, Ohio $cSchool of Law, University of Akron 215 $a1 online resource (29 volumes) 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 300 $aSome issues include selected proceedings from the University of Akron Tax Institute Symposium. 311 $a1044-4130 606 $aTaxation$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States$vPeriodicals 606 $aDroit fiscal$zÉtats-Unis$vPériodiques 606 $aTaxation$xLaw and legislation$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01143921 607 $aUnited States$2fast$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq 608 $aLaw reviews.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aLaw reviews.$2lcgft 615 0$aTaxation$xLaw and legislation 615 6$aDroit fiscal 615 7$aTaxation$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a343.7304 676 $a347.3034 712 02$aUniversity of Akron.$bSchool of Law. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a996417379203316 996 $aAkron tax journal$92286746 997 $aUNISA
