By the famed Woodhull & Claflin...

Item # 716511 ·
WOODHULL & CLAFLIN'S WEEKLY, New York, June 20, 1874  A very desirable title which lasted but 6 years, difficult to find in the collecting market today. 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, they were the first women 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.
See the web for much more on this famous & desired newspaper.
The content within is much as would be expected, articles including: "Plural Wives - How Women Take to Polygamy" "Reformatory Lecturers" "The Slaughter Of The Innocents" "Business Editorials" "Women's Peace Festival" "Imperialism in the United States" "Shall Criminals Be Punished?" "Free Love Controversy" and much more.
Complete in 16 pages, a piece from the lower corner of the front leaf affects only ads, another piece from the upper corner of the 2nd leaf not affecting the mentioned conrtent, various archival mends at margins, some foxing & light stains.
A very scarce & desirable title.
