A television series about suffragette and first female U.S. presidential candidate Victoria Woodhull will be the first project from Suzanne Blech’s just-launched Go Nellie Productions, Deadline reports. The former president of Screen Media Films plans to adapt two volumes of Neal H. Katz’s “Outrageous: The Victoria Woodhull Saga” into a 10-episode drama.

Woodhull was the 1872 presidential candidate for the Equal Rights Party; abolitionist Frederick Douglass was her pick for Vice President. She also founded a newspaper with her sister, Tennessee Claflin. Introduced in 1870, Woodhull & Claflin’s Weekly was among the first newspapers launched by women. That same year the sisters opened a brokerage firm on Wall Street, Claflin & Company.

“I am excited to launch Go Nellie Production with the acquisition of these two novels. The Victoria Woodhull story is deserving of the long form episodic format, there is just so much material,” Blech said in a statement. “The landscape of original content is wide open and I look forward to bring stories that inform, enlighten, and entertain to the public.”

Woodhull will also be the subject of an upcoming Amazon Studios film starring Oscar-winner Brie Larson. “Victoria Woodhull” will depict its titular character’s 1872 bid for office, which was more than 40 years before women had the right to vote. No director is attached yet.

Maggie Gyllenhaal has also expressed interest in presenting Woodhull’s story on the small screen. When discussing the project, “The Honorable Woman” actress hinted it would focus on Woodhull’s participation in the spiritualist movement during the 1860s and ’70s. “There was a big movement toward spiritualism then,” Gyllenhaal explained. “It was after the Civil War, everyone had lost people important to them.”
