Public opening of Woodhull, Claflin & Co. brokerage in New York City, established by Tennessee Claflin and her sister.
On February 5, 1870, Tennessee Claflin and Victoria Woodhull made history by opening their brokerage firm, Woodhull, Claflin & Co., at 44 Broad Street, New York City. This bold move positioned them as pioneers in finance, as women were largely excluded from such professions. The firm attracted significant attention, representing a crack in the patriarchal structure of Wall Street and inspiring future generations of women in finance.
