Lush and playful ... Collinsworth recounts the twists and turns of Woodhull’s story with wit and aplomb, while occasionally widening the lens to provide the necessary context ... Collinsworth, a skillful storyteller, wrangles all of Woodhull’s truth and lies into a coherent portrait. This book captures her in all her contradictions.
Eye-opening ... Kudos to Eden Collinsworth for laying out the problem forthrightly through a life that is a better illustration of it than any other life I know of.
Collinsworth...deftly weaves in the political, economic, social, and moral ethos of the nineteenth century as she tells the fascinating story of a remarkable woman.
