On the cover:"GET THEE BEHIND ME [MRS.] SATAN." Thomas Nast's 1872 representation of Victoria Woodhull as the devil in female form conveys the moral threat Woodhull posed as seen by upholders of traditional values. Reprinted from Harper's Weekly, February 17, 1872. See Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz, "Victoria Woodhull, Anthony Comstock, and Conflict over Sex in the United States in the 1870s," p. 403.
