November 02, 1872
WOODHULL & CLAFLIN'S WEEKLY, New York, Nov. 2, 1872  In the masthead is: "Progress! Free Thought! Untrammeled Lives! - Breaking The Way For Future Generations." Victoria Claflin Woodhull was an American leader of the woman's suffrage  movement, an advocate of free love; together with her sister, Tennie Claflin, the first woman to operate a brokerage in Wall Street; the first woman to start a weekly newspaper; an activist for women's rights and labor reforms and, in 1872, the first woman candidate for President of the United States. The content within is much as would be expected, including: "The Religion of Humanity" "Beginning of the Battle" (which takes 5 pages), "Karl Marx, the International" "The Beecher-Tilton Scandal Case" and more.
Complete in 16 pages, never bound nor trimmed, various wear at the margins & central fold including small tears, a few very small archival mends. Generally good condition. Measures 11 1/2 by 16 1/2 pages.
