"Freedom! Equality!! Justice!!! These Three; but the Greatest of These Is…" by Victoria C. Woodhull is a powerful speech delivered in 1872, during a transformative period in American history, as the nation grappled with the consequences of the Civil War and the quest for social reform. This book takes the form of a political address and serves as a passionate call for justice, emphasizing that true freedom and equality cannot exist without it. Woodhull is particularly concerned with social inequalities and the need for radical change within the existing political structures, advocating that justice is the most crucial component of a fair society. In this compelling speech, Woodhull discusses the evolution of government and society, tracing the development from ancient empires to modern democracy. She argues that the concentration of power in the hands of a few leads to systemic injustices, where the masses remain oppressed in various forms of economic and social slavery. Highlighting the connection between capitalism and inequality, she calls for a revolution to abolish the monopolies of land, money, and education that perpetuate poverty and suffering. Woodhull envisions a society in which all individuals can participate equally in governance, share in the wealth they produce, and live without the constraints imposed by the privileged elite. She ultimately urges her audience to take decisive action towards achieving comprehensive justice for all, asserting that a true and equitable society is not only possible but necessary for the progress of humanity.
