In this episode, DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens introduces us to a woman of many lives, many careers, and many misadventures. Victoria Woodhull worked a clairvoyant and faith healer, she opened a financial firm on Wall Street, she started a newspaper, campaigned for women's and worker's rights, and ran for President — all in late 1800s USA.

DLS co-founder Katy Derbyshire joins host/producer Susan Stone to introduce our new season.
