- W284350876 abstract "Frisken, Amanda. Victoria Woodhull's Sexual Revolution: Political Theater and the Popular Press in Nineteenth-Century America. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2004. 225 pp. $37.50. has inspired lively biographies that began during her flamboyant life as an activist, lecturer, and crackpot (the synonym for anyone brash enough to commit civil disobedience). Indeed, by analyzing how Victoria Woodhull used celebrity and notoriety to promulgate unwelcome ideas, Amanda Frisken reveals a serious undertow to the flood of dramatic excess often associated with the beautiful nonconformist. For example, in 1872, as the first woman to run for U.S. president, Woodhull chose Frederick Douglass (without his knowledge) as her running mate in the Equal Rights Party. Her supporters knew that she and the great black orator would not win, but they saw the ticket as a means to unite spiritualists, woman suffragists, civil rights activists, international socialists, and sex radicals into a coalition for human rights. Fears of racial intermingling clouded this vision. Frisken relies upon a host of primary and secondary materials-including biographies-to show how one woman and her sister shook up their complaisant world in the name of social justice and equality for all. By focusing on the power of illustrations in popular publications to brand people, she covers new ground. She points out that the gentleman's sporting journal, Days End, as well as Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper and The New York Telegram relentlessly depicted and her sister, Tennie, as icons of free love. The duo and Victoria's second husband, Colonel James Harvey Blood, challenged assumptions about sexuality that fortified political and economic barriers. For example, with backing from railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt, the sisters made history as the first women to open a brokerage on Wall Street. The response to this bold career move reflected the prejudices of the era. Frisken lets the impressive evidence she gathered from many archival collections tell the story and adds just enough commentary to set the scene and place the radical proponents of free love and full sexual equality in context. She contrasts the views of suffragists, such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, with Woodhull's demand for women's right to choose their partners in and out of wedlock. The story shimmers with theatrical incidents, including Woodhull's attempt to make three powerful men accountable by printing accounts of their sexual misconduct in her newspaper, Woodhull & Clafin's Weekly. …" @default.
