Industry Reviews
"Once again Barbara Goldsmith, one of our foremost social historians, has brilliantly woven together a scrupulously documents, vividly written tapestry of an era. She illuminates the years beyond the Civil War--with incisive new light--with her striking portraits of some of its most dramatic figures."
Book jacket - Robert Caro
"The fascinating story of a remarkable woman wonderfully illuminates the vagaries of religion, sex, finance, feminism, and publicity in Victorian America."
Book jacket - Arthur M. Schlesinger
"Victoria Woodhull has long been a heroine of mine, not least because her life evokes so many of the strange mysteries of the old America. And Barbara Goldsmith has written the first study that is truly worthy of Woodhull--sharp and seductive, yet utterly honest. You will find yourself aroused and instructed by every page of this fascinating book."
Book jacket - Sean Wilentz
"A meticulously researched, absolutely marvelous rendering of an intriguing era and one of the women who helped make it so."
