Rate My Professor Judith Dann

Judith Dann is a nationally recognized expert on Victoria Woodhull, the first woman nominated for U.S. President by a political party in 1872 as the Equal Rights Party candidate. Her research uncovered Woodhull's achievements as the first female stockbroker on Wall Street in 1870 alongside her sister, and Dann has documented Woodhull's life through board service at the Robbins Hunter Museum in Granville, Ohio, which features a dedicated Woodhull exhibit including a replica of her Wall Street dress and a commemorative clock. Dann created the Woodhull Rising website as a hub for experts and has organized roundtable discussions exploring contemporary issues through Woodhull's advocacy. Her expertise has been quoted in publications such as 'Out of the Shadows' and 'Victoria Woodhull: Shattering Glass Ceilings,' with Columbus State Community College acknowledged in the bibliography of the latter, and in a 2016 USA Today article. Dann delivers public lectures on Woodhull, uses her story to inspire students on determination and success, and is developing new courses including 'Latin for the Professional,' a Classics major, and 'Women in the Ancient Mediterranean.' She emphasizes studying history to foster good citizenship and humanity.
