Victoria Woodhull was a grifter and con artist of the Spiritualists from a poor family of grifters who grew so successful that she became wealthy enough to have money and time to spare to actually do some good…and DID.
Maybe he was part of the massive immigrant wave that swamped the Northern States with socially conservative alcoholics from Ireland and Germany in the 1860's.
So the first thing that came to mind upon seeing this illustration is a Victorian era stripper working the pole. Consider forwarding that to the illustrator and the visual editor.
This sounds super woke. Now that we've banned the woke words from the historical record, we can simply see, from the corrected record, that women did not exist in 1870. It's possible they were invented sometime around 1910.
