  • Reading Guide Other Powers
    Reading Guide Other Powers By Barbara Goldsmith ISBN: 9780060953324 Plot Summary Other Powers: The Age of Suffrage, Spiritualism, and the Scandalous Victoria Woodhull is a portrait of the tumultuous last half of the nineteenth century, when the United States experienced the Civil War, Reconstruction, Andrew Johnson's impeachment trial, and the 1869 collapse of the gold market. A stunning combination of history and biography, Other Powers interweaves the stories of the important social, political, and religious players of America's Victorian era with the scandalous life of Victoria Woodhull--Spiritualist, woman's rights crusader, free-love advocate, stockbroker, prostitute, and presidential candidate. This is history at its most vivid, set amid the battle for woman suffrage, the Spiritualist movement that swept across the nation in the age of Radical Reconstruction following the Civil War, and the bitter fight that pitted black men against white women in the struggle for the right to vote. The book's cast: Victoria Woodhull, billed as a clairvoyant and magnetic healer--a devotee and priestess of those "other powers" that were gaining acceptance across America--in her father's traveling medicine show . spiritual and financial advisor to Commodore Vanderbilt . the first woman to address a joint session of Congress, where--backed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony--she presents an argument that women, as citizens, should have the right to vote . becoming the "high priestess" of free love in America (fiercely believing the then-heretical idea that women should have complete sexual equality with men) . making a run for the presidency of the United States against Horace Greeley and Ulysses S.

  • Early Women of Wall Street: “Sports of Nature” Shirley M. Mueller Published on Health Care Professionals Live August 3, 2009
    Early Women of Wall Street: “Sports of Nature” Shirley M. Mueller Published on Health Care Professionals Live August 3, 2009 “Woman's ability to earn money is better protection against the tyranny and brutality of men than her ability to vote," said Victoria Woodhull in the late 19th century. This independence on the part of the Woodhull marked her as a „sport of nature,‟ by Eunice Barnard in an article she wrote in the April, 1929 North American Review. Hetty Green, also a nineteenth century financial pioneer, was similarly designated. Currently these „sports of nature‟ are receiving attention in “Women of Wall Street,” an exhibit at the Museum of American Finance in New York City running until January 16, 2010. Since learning from the past can inform the future, reviewing the exhibit is not only informative and interesting, but could be helpful to investors who seek to emulate successful predecessors. The two „sports of nature,‟ which Barnard referred to, were different than other women of their time. Their qualities of independence, self determination and ability to focus were not necessarily welcomed by all of their contemporaries. Still, these were the traits that no doubt lead to their investing genius. Victoria Woodhull, along with her sister, Tennessee Claflin, opened the first female brokerage house on Wall Street in 1870. Though the girls were from a poor home in Ohio, they did whatever was necessary to improve their lot in life. It is said that Victoria was a prostitute for a while to earn extra money. No matter what the details, she and Tennessee started Woodhull, Claflin and Company in 1870 with backing from Cornelius Vanderbilt.

  • Reuben Buckman
    1 Reuben Buckman “Buck” Claflin Born about 1796 in Massachusetts.1 Died 19 November 1885, Kensington, London, Middlesex, England.2 Buried 24 November 1885, Highgate Cemetery West, London, Middlesex, England3 Buck was the son of Robert Claflin and Anna Underwood.4 No record of his birth has been found but most census enumerations identify Massachusetts as his place of birth and allow for a near calculation of his birth year.5 It is known that his grandfather and father had been in Westhampton, in Hampshire County, then they were in the Sandisfield area of what became Berkshire County where some of the family lived out their lives. Buck’s father later moved to Troy, Bedford County, Pennsylvania around 1800. The complex borders between Hampshire, Hampden, and Berkshire Counties in Massachusetts, together with New York’s Columbia County and Connecticut’s Harford County have frustrated genealogists for years. This coupled with the difficulties in this area following the Revolution,6 make establishing genealogical evidence extremely difficult and time-consuming. There is no doubt that Buck has the worst reputation of anyone involved in the Woodhull story and has become a grotesque caricature.7 There is also no doubt he was a many-faceted individual, often an opportunist, with an entrepreneurial bent. Buck certainly had his faults, but it must be remembered he was the father of, and had a life- long relationship with, two of the most remarkable women of the Gilded Age, Victoria Woodhull and Tennessee Claflin. His modern reputation of a conniving, child abusing, snake-oil-peddling, petty thief, and con man all come from Woodhull’s biography by Theodore Tilton.

Although she was illiterate, she had a sharp memory, as evidenced by Zula Woodhull’s reminiscence, above. Her daughter, Victoria, was also said to have had a similar ability of total recall. Anna was the family member who least understood of her daughters’ (Tennessee and Victoria) embracement of the free-love movement. Always reacting emotionally, she would not accept, and devoted her life to, countermanding their philosophies at every chance. Anna was the one who was primarily responsible for the destruction of the marriage of her daughter, Victoria, with Col. James H. Blood as she doggedly hounded both him and her and railed against their politically radical positions. A deeply religious woman, Anna was like many of the time who were shocked and scandalized by the much- misunderstood free love beliefs. In the end, she did win, when a physically and mentally exhausted Victoria capitulated and divorced Blood.
