NEW FROM STORY MERCHANT BOOKS UNSTOPPABLE The Woman Who Dared to Run for President

 

A powerful new historical novel by Kate Danaher

Available Now on Amazon from Story Merchant Books.

Some stories refuse to be forgotten.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the release of Unstoppable: The Victoria Woodhull Story, the debut historical novel by Kate Danaher—a powerful reimagining of one of the most remarkable women in American history.

In 1872, Victoria Woodhull became the first woman to run for President of the United States. She challenged the political establishment, fought for women’s rights, endured public scandal, and spent Election Day in jail. Yet she refused to be silenced.

Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Kate Danaher brings Victoria’s extraordinary journey to life—her rise to prominence, her alliances with Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, her friendship with Isabella Beecher Hooker, and her relentless determination to tell the truth no matter the cost.

Acclaimed author Mary Gabriel praises the novel:

“Danaher combines the work of a skilled researcher with the flair of a poet to resurrect Victoria as she was, not as she has been incorrectly depicted for a century.”

At Writers Lifeline, we believe stories that challenge convention and inspire courage deserve to be told. Unstoppable is exactly that kind of story—a testament to resilience, conviction, and the power of one voice to change history.

Congratulations to Kate Danaher and the Story Merchant Books team on this exciting release!
