EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a powerful moment in American history, featuring Victoria C. Woodhull, an influential reformer of the late 19th century. In this striking cartoon from 1872 by Thomas Nast, Woodhull is depicted as "Mrs. Satan" attacking her advocacy for Free Love. Woodhull was a fearless advocate for women's rights and suffrage, challenging societal norms with her progressive ideas. However, her bold stance on issues such as free love and sexual liberation made her a target of criticism and condemnation. Nast's cartoon portrays Woodhull as an evil force to be reckoned with – a symbolic representation of the resistance she faced during her fight for equality. The caption "Get Thee Behind Me" suggests that society should reject Woodhull's radical ideas. This image serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by early feminists like Woodhull who dared to challenge the status quo. It highlights the power dynamics at play during that era when advocating for women's rights was seen as threatening and subversive. Despite facing immense opposition, Victoria C. Woodhull left an indelible mark on American history through her relentless pursuit of gender equality and political action. This print stands as a testament to her courage and resilience in fighting for women's rights amidst societal backlash.
