The College Club of Tuscarawas County and Dover Public Library are pleased to present  actress Anne McEvoy who will portray Victoria Woodhull on Thursday, October 31 at 6:30 PM in the community room at the library.

Victoria Woodhull was the first woman to run for president and the first female stock broker on Wall Street. According to the National Women’s History Museum, Woodhull achieved remarkable success in finance, journalism, and politics. A spiritualist, suffragist, and free love advocate, Woodhull was an iconoclast who fought for her beliefs no matter how controversial they were at the time.

The organization is dedicated to the education of all people through the dramatic re-creation of lives of notable women in history whose voices tell some of the most stirring and inspiring stories in the history of our country.
