Written and performed by Emma Palzere-Rae, The Woodhull Project was selected to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment. This one-woman play explores the life of Victoria Woodhull, the woman who ran for President of the United States in 1872, through a contemporary lens. Woodhull appears today wondering if she has left any legacy. Flashbacks of her life, coupled with her commentary, explore how we can make a better world. What would she think about the state of womens rights and social issues today?
