Getting a little more insight on the spiritualism via some unrelated court testimony by Tennie. She claims to believe in it yet admits some "humbuggery". Also getting a different view of Harriet Beecher Stowe who seems to slander the sisters in a serial. The unflattering fictional character Dacia resembles Victoria and/or Tennie in many ways. I never really thought of this factionalism in the suffrage movement.

I love this book but I'm not getting a good sense if Victoria and Tennie really believed in their spiritualism or if they knew it was a racket. I also feel the author is skirting some issues in regard to their possible drug use and prostitution. Maybe Gabriel addresses some of this later. Nonetheless Woodhull is an impressive progressive figure in history and this is a very easy and engaging read.
