The History Chicks : A Women's History Podcast

We took fifty friends with us on our latest women's history tour to the City of Light! From a private nighttime tour of Versailles to a luncheon at Veuve Clicquot, through pastries shaped like apples at A. LaCroix patisserie and an ocean of glorious onion soup, we filled our suitcases with treasures and our hearts with joy. But perhaps the best souvenirs we all brought home were the lifelong friends we made along the way. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's election season here in the US, so we're revisiting the life of the very first woman to run for the American Presidency in 1872. Victoria Woodhull crafted a life for herself from very raw materials when she traveled from an abusive childhood to an aristocratic end and, throughout it all, was a woman ahead of her time.
