In 1870 a mesmerising psychic named Victoria Woodhull shattered tradition by running for the White House. Had she won the ensuing spectacle would surely have rivalled even that of our own era. Abhorring such flamboyance, Mary Wollstonecraft inspired a revolution of thought with her pen as she issued women’s first manifesto — still to be fulfilled.

These six women had no time for what society said they could and could not do. They would see the world bend before they did. From Aimee Semple McPherson, the first female preacher in America, to Coco Chanel, designer of an empire, they became the change they wanted to see. With great verve, wit and reverence, Jeremy Scott pays tribute to them.

The women who dared are: Victoria Woodhull, Mary Wollstonecraft, Aimee Semple McPherson, Edwina Mountbatten, Margaret Argyll and Coco Chanel.

        ‘If the very next Congress refuses women all the legitimate results of citizenship, we…shall erect a new government… We mean treason; we mean secession, and on a thousand times grander scale than that that of the South. We are plotting revolution; we will overthrow this bogus republic and plant a government of righteousness in its stead.’

          While others argued the equality of women with men, I proved it. While others sought to show that there was no valid reason why women should be treated as inferior to men, I boldly entered the arena. Having the means, courage, energy and strength necessary for the race…I now announce myself candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America.
