Voices For Freedom

Victoria Woodhull was the first woman from New York to run for President of the United States in 1872 against Ulysses T Grant. She ran representing the Equal Rights Party.

She and her sister, Tennessee Claflin, founded and operated a newspaper called the Woodhull-Claflin Times and with the help of Cornelius Vanderbilt opened the first Wall Street brokerage firm operated by women.

Victoria was a member of the Free Love movement which opposed legal or religious interference in personal partnerships.

Helena Blavatsky

"There is no religion higher than the Truth." Blavatsky. A Secret Doctrine

Helena P Blavatsky, a Russian born naturalized U.S. citizen, founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. The Theosophical Society, still in existence today, seeks to unite theology and science. Blavatsky was considered the greatest esoteric and seer of her time.

Iyawata has created fictionalized dramas which utilize her historical research and study of Blavatsky's writings and ideas.
