Since Victoria Woodhull launched her symbolic bid for the presidency in 1872, dozens of women have sought the presidency over the past 150 years. Their quest began long before women won the vote and it unfolded over decades when a woman's pursuit of any higher political office was met with prejudice, mockery, and hostility. Even after women started voting in 1920, they remained shut-out of rooms where presidential candidacies were often born. Whether a woman will break through the glass ceiling during the current election cycle is uncertain, Fitzpatrick acknowledges. But it will happen sooner or later.

Ellen Fitzpatrick is the University of New Hampshire historian that millions of people have seen on TV-every night during the 2004 Democratic Convention and regularly on PBS's NewsHour with Jim Lehrer ever since. Fitzpatrick is an active scholar of American history and has written several books. She rights the wrongs of misrepresented facts and often, she simply uses the past to shed light on the present.

Jo Anna Perrin is an accomplished audiobook narrator and actor who has appeared in film and television as well as on stage in New York and Los Angeles. Independent of her acting and voiceover work, she is a published author and a professional photographer.
