Woodhull celebrates the life of the first woman who ran for Vice President of the United States of America, Geraldine Ferraro. Here is a collection of the many tributes to her life and legacy:

“She Ended the Men’s Club of National Politics“- New York Times

“Remembering Geraldine Ferraro: A woman of firsts” – NY Daily News

“Congresswoman Made History on National Ticket“- The Wall Street Journal

Be sure to choose “Women 2011″ from the drop-down list of campaigns when posting your review. If we gather enough positive reviews by March 31st we will be added to  the Top-Rated Women’s Nonprofits List.

Check out Woodhull Alumna, Courtney Martin’s “Reinventing Feminism” as she examines the perennially loaded word “feminism” in this personal and heartfelt talk. She talks through the three essential paradoxes of her generation’s quest to define the term for themselves. Read Courtney’s full bio at TED.com

Who is famous for being “The Mother of Feminism” but was also the mother of Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein?

Mary Wollstonecraft is most commonly referred to as “The first feminist” or “The mother of feminism” for her writings on feminism and philosophy. Her essay “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” from 1792 is one of the earliest works of feminist thought, in which she argues that men and women should have equal education and treated both as rational human beings. This essay was in response to Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s “Emile” from 1762 in which he argued that woman should be educated for the pleasure and service of men.

Wollstonecraft writes:

“Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their own superiority.”

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman was considered a radical text as Wollstonecraft was highly critical of the contemporary attitudes towards woman at the time.
