Brie Larson has landed a true-story project for Amazon. The Oscar-winning actress is expected to headline a biopic about Victoria Woodhull, the first female presidential candidate in the U.S. history, AceShowbiz reports.

Along with her sister, the activist became the first woman to operate a brokerage firm on Wall Street. They were also the first females to found a newspaper, Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly, which began publication in 1870.

Brie Larson became a critic darling for her role in "Room". She has just released a new movie "Kong: Skull Island". Her next movies include Marvel's first female superhero flick "Captain Marvel".
