Victoria Woodhull: “‘And the Truth Shall Make You Free’”

( 1871 ) Commentary by Bradley A. Skeen, Ph.D.

“Yes, I am a Free Lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere.” - “‘And the Truth Shall Make You Free’”
“If the law be required to enforce virtue, its real presence is wanting.” - “‘And the Truth Shall Make You Free’”
“I protest against this form of slavery, I protest against the custom which compels women to give the control of their maternal functions over to anybody. It should be theirs to determine when, and under what circumstances, the greatest of all constructive processes—the formation of an immortal soul—should be begun.” - “‘And the Truth Shall Make You Free’”
