Answer 2

Victoria Claflin Woodhull becomes the first woman presidential candidate in the United States when she was nominated by the National Radical Reformers.
From age 14, Victoria Clafin more or less supported her hapless family as a spiritualist, along with her younger sister, Tennessee. Clairvoyance was a popular pastime in mid-nineteenth-century America, and Buck Clafin gladly pushed his daughters to make money with their talents. Spiritualism would mark Victoria's long and remarkable public career. An unhappy early-age marriage to Canning Woodhull forced her to continue earning her own living, which she did with aplomb and considerable success. Eventually entering the political arena as an ardent suffragist and feminist, Woodhull published a popular, highly controversial newspaper, addressed a congressional committee on the subject of women's vote, and declared herself a candidate for president. In 1872, the Equal Rights Party nominated her as a presidential candidate. Too controversial for many suffragists and others because of Marxist leanings and advocacy of "free love," Woodhull left for London in 1877, where she lived until her death in 1927, somewhat more quietly but ever active.
