Let’s talk about some groundbreaking and scandalous sisters: Victoria Woodhull and Tennie Claflin. These 2 sisters went from rags to riches to rags to affairs with Vanderbilts and free love and running for president. Neither saints nor sinners but possibly both, their lives are one heck of a ride.

Join Becca and Rebecca as we discuss two fascinating and often vilified women, The Beguiling Brokers, the Claflin sisters.
