M.C. Hizedek, the controversial author of “A Woman’s Nation or Satan’s Deceit,” delves into a dark and tangled chapter of American history with his provocative exploration of the link between the Women’s Feminist Movement and the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Hizedek’s book claims that the involvement of Mary Surratt, a known member of the Women’s Feminist Movement, in the conspiracy to murder Lincoln, ties the feminist cause to one of the most significant political crimes in American history. This assertion is rooted in a quote attributed to Lincoln himself, where he expressed his belief that the Pope of Rome and his Jesuit followers posed a grave threat to his life and to the Union. Hizedek paints a picture of a sinister alliance between religious extremists and feminist radicals, united in their opposition to Lincoln’s presidency.

Abraham Lincoln’s assassination on April 14, 1865, shocked the nation, and the subsequent trial and execution of Mary Surratt, the first woman hanged by the federal government, added layers of intrigue and controversy. According to Hizedek, Lincoln had foreseen the peril posed by the Jesuits and their allies, asserting that they had planned multiple attempts on his life. His statements to his trusted staff, recounting a narrowly avoided assassination in Baltimore and revealing the involvement of Roman Catholic conspirators, underscore the depth of his fears. Hizedek argues that Surratt’s execution was not just a punishment for her personal involvement but a symbolic act against the feminist movement she represented, casting the movement in a shadow of treachery and violence.

Hizedek’s narrative extends beyond Lincoln’s assassination, suggesting a pattern of political killings targeting non-Socialist Democratic presidents from 1841 until the death of Warren Harding in 1923. He posits that these assassinations were part of a broader conspiracy orchestrated by a coalition of radical feminists and Catholic extremists. This controversial hypothesis challenges mainstream historical accounts, which typically do not link these events to such a coordinated effort. By intertwining these historical threads, Hizedek’s “A Woman’s Nation or Satan’s Deceit” presents a revisionist perspective that invites readers to reconsider the complex interplay of religion, gender politics, and power in shaping the trajectory of American history.
