No one could deny that Victoria Woodhull was a trailblazer.

A spiritualist, stockbroker and journalist by profession, Woodhull ran to be president of the United States 48 years before her countrywomen even had the right to vote, espousing what she called “free love” — the right of women to divorce and marry as readily as men could.

The Equal Rights Party candidate did not fare well at the polls, failing to win a single electoral-college vote.

Hillary Clinton has just achieved what Woodhull could only have fantasized about in 1872, becoming the first woman ever to clinch the presidential nomination of one of the States’ two major parties. It only took another 144 years.
