Victoria Woodhull Denounce me for advocating freedom if you can, and I will bear your curse with a better resignation. Victoria Woodhull For a woman to consider a financial question was shuddered over as a profanity. Victoria Woodhull I am a free lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please. Victoria Woodhull I and others of my sex find ourselves controlled by a form of government in the inauguration of which we had no voice. Victoria Woodhull I ask the rights to pursue happiness by having a voice in that government to which I am accountable. Victoria Woodhull I come before you to declare that my sex are entitled to the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Victoria Woodhull I do not shake hands from a sanitary standpoint. Victoria Woodhull I endeavor to make the most of everything. Victoria Woodhull I now announce myself as candidate for the Presidency. I anticipate criticism; but however unfavorable I trust that my sincerity will not be called into question. Victoria Woodhull I shall not change my course because those who assume to be better than I desire it. Victoria Woodhull I would like above any other place to go to Hartford. I want to face the conservatism there centered and compel it into decency. Victoria Woodhull If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government? Victoria Woodhull If women would today would rise en masse and demand their emancipation, the men would be compelled to grant it. Victoria Woodhull Is it fair to treat a woman worse than a man, and then revile her because she is a woman? Victoria Woodhull It makes no difference who or what you are, old or young, black or white, pagan, Jew, or Christian, I want to love you all and be loved by you all, and I mean to have your love. Victoria Woodhull Let women issue a declaration of independence sexually, and absolutely refuse to cohabit with men until they are acknowledged as equals in everything, and the victory would be won in a single week. Victoria Woodhull My judges preach against free love openly, practice it secretly. Victoria Woodhull My opinions and principles are subjects of just criticism. I put myself before the public voluntarily. Victoria Woodhull Rude contact with facts chased my visions and dreams quickly away, and in their stead I beheld the horrors, the corruption, the evils and hypocrisy of society, and as I stood among them, a young wife, a great wail of agony went out from my soul.
