Victoria Claflin Woodhull (1838-1927) was born into poverty in an abusive household, and was married to an alcoholic womanizer at age 15. After she divorced him, Woodhull went on to own a newspaper, become the first woman to own a Wall Street stock brokerage and was an American leader of the women's suffrage movement. In 1872, she became the first woman to run for President of the United States, choosing Frederick Douglass as her running mate.

Minnie Mouse is trading her iconic red dress ...

 

for a new look

 

For the first time in her nearly century-long life, Minnie Mouse will add a pantsuit to her wardrobe. And it won't be just any old pair of tailored slacks, but an iconic silhouette from British fashion designer Stella McCartney. (1 min.video, here.)

Though a sneak peek of Minnie's new sartorial statement hit the internet early, her full makeover will be unveiled in March to commemorate two different dates: International Women's Day and the 30th anniversary of Disneyland Paris. 

 

"Minnie has always had a special place in my heart," McCartney said in a press video shared with CNN. "We share the same values, and what I love about Minnie is that she personifies happiness, self-expression, authenticity...plus she has such great style."

Minnie ditching her famed red dress comes on the heels of news that the green M&M has traded her white go-go boots for comfortable sneakers. And while a fictional female character finally getting a new outfit might not seem like a divisive topic, the Minnie announcement has been met with mixed feedback, including a critical segment on Fox News featuring host Jesse Walters and Candace Owens.

 

Whatever ...

I am a B, does this sound like me?

B: If your heart line starts between the middle finger and index finger, you’re a considerate and kind person. You’re hesitant and cautious with new people and find it hard to trust but people tend to naturally trust you. You use common sense in decisions and weigh up the pros and cons before jumping into anything. You have a lot of friends from all kinds of backgrounds.3
