Quick: Who was the first woman to run for president of the United States? If you're drawing a blank, don't fret. Even those of you who paid close attention in civics class probably won't recall Victoria Woodhull, the Equal Rights Party candidate who ran against the likes of Ulysses S. Grant and Horace Greeley way back in 1872 (move over, Hillary Clinton). Despite her absence from history textbooks, Woodhull was wildly famous in her day as an advocate for women's rights, free love and labor reforms — a platform so radical it led her opponents to dub her "Wicked Woodhull." The historic election bid brought Woodhull a long way from her humble origins in the Licking County, Ohio, town of Homer, where she was born Sept. 23, 1838. To lack off the 2008 election year, we cast our vote for Woodhull's family tree.
