| Summary | "A Lecture by Victoria Claflin Woodhull ...: The Review of a Century; or, The Fruit of Five Thousand Years" by Victoria Claflin Woodhull is a historical address delivered in the Boston Theatre in the late 19th century. This lecture encapsulates Woodhull's radical ideas and social critiques, particularly regarding political, industrial, and societal conditions of her time. It tackles the oppression faced by women, minorities, and laborers, moving through themes of democracy, economic disparity, and the necessity for transformative social change. In her lecture, Woodhull emphasizes the historical journey of the United States, reflecting on the struggles for independence and the ideals these struggles were meant to uphold, including freedom and equality. She critiques contemporary society's failure to realize these ideals, particularly for women, whom she identifies as political slaves alongside other marginalized groups like Indigenous peoples and the Chinese. Woodhull argues for a reformation of the political system and societal structures to ensure that all individuals have equal rights and opportunities. The address is rich with historical references, philosophical musings, and calls for both individual and collective responsibility toward societal evolution, making it a significant manifesto for social change during her time.
