The sovereign will of the people is expressed in our written Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land.
Victoria C. Woodhull
The Public Record
Victoria Claflin Woodhull, later Victoria Woodhull Martin, was an American leader of the women's suffrage movement who ran for president of the United States in the 1872 election. While many historians and authors agree that Woodhull was the first woman to run for the presidency, some disagree with classifying it as a true candidacy because according to the Constitution she would have been too young to be president if elected.

The Constitution defines a woman born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, to be a citizen.
The right to vote cannot be denied on account of race.
All people included in the term race have the right to vote, unless otherwise prohibited.
With the right to vote sex has nothing to do.
All people of both sexes have the right to vote, unless prohibited by special limiting terms less comprehensive than race or color.
No such limiting terms exist in the Constitution.
Women, white and black, have from time immemorial groaned under what is properly termed in the Constitution “previous condition of servitude.
Women are the equals of men before the law, and are equal in all their rights as citizens.
The Naturalization Laws of the United States expressly provide for the naturalization of women.
But the right to vote has only lately been distinctly declared by the Constitution to be inalienable, under three distinct conditions—in all of which woman is distinctly embraced.
Charity, with its long cloak of justice escaped, has long enough covered a multitude of sins.
