Victoria Saker (rhymes with Baker) Woeste (rhymes with beastie) is a native Buckeye and a graduate of Upper Arlington High School, the University of Virginia, and the University of California at Berkeley. Her PhD was earned in the innovative Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program, the first PhD-granting department in law and social science. Vicky devoted her career to teaching and publishing about twentieth-century American legal history, focusing on how law and social change shaped each other during critical times of national transformation. Her first book, The Farmer’s Benevolent Trust: Law and Cooperation in Industrial America (1998), told the previously unknown story of how farmers organized along the lines of labor unions in order to attain control over the marketing of their crops. For Henry Ford’s War on Jews and the Legal Battle Against Hate Speech (2012), Vicky discovered previously untapped archival treasures and family records to recreate the context of Aaron Sapiro’s landmark lawsuit against Ford, the first modern hate speech case in U.S. history. Because it ended in a mistrial, we have neither a jury verdict nor judicial opinions to mark its impact. But the turn in American politics since 2015 has given us a new appreciation of the Sapiro-Ford case as a demonstration of the legal and constitutional difficulties in policing harmful speech that we continue to encounter. Even in retirement, she continues to lecture and publish about antisemitism, the Sapiro-Ford case, and civil rights. In addition to dozens of academic publications, Vicky’s essays have appeared in the Washington Post, the Huffington Post, the ABA Journal, History News Network, the AHA Perspectives magazine, and many others. In addition to her work in the film Sapiro v. Ford, she has served as historical consultant on the PBS film The People v. Leo Frank and appeared in numerous television and podcast interviews.
