What is an area of disagreement among historians about Woodhull's candidacy?

  • Her political party

  • The validity of her candidacy due to her age

  • Her birthplace

  • Her education

Answer

Woodhull's candidacy is controversial because she was only 34 years old at the time, which was younger than the required minimum age of 35 years. Some historians argue that this disqualifies her from being a candidate, while others argue that her age should not be a factor.
