Soap was endorsed by many 19th-century notables. Gage’s friend and coworker Elizabeth Cady Stanton put her approval on natural Fairy Soap, because it was “free from odor as as the air and sunshine.” Now Gage has her own soap!

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 04:56:43 -0400

One of the most radical, far-sighted and articulate early feminists, Matilda Joslyn Gage was deliberately written out of history by an increasingly conservative suffrage movement.

Sisters in Spirit: Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Influence on Early American Feminists

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 04:56:43 -0400

Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) women fired the revolutionary vision of early feminists by providing a model of freedom for women at a time when EuroAmerican women experienced so few rights. Women of the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy possessed freedoms far beyond those of their white sisters: decisive political power, control of their bodies, control of their own property, custody of the children they bore, the power to initiate divorce, satisfying work, and a society generally free of rape and domestic violence.

Intrepid historian Sally Roesch Wagner recounts the compelling struggle for freedom and equality waged by women in the United States and documents the influence and inspiration Native American women gave to this dynamic social movement.

1) Fayetteville’s First Woman Voter

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 04:56:44 -0400

A reprint of historian Barbara Rivette’s 1969 biography of Matilda Joslyn Gage as suffragist, this book presents excerpts from Gage’s 1880 writings about the New York school vote campaign. With notes by Sue Boland.

Gage had the honor of being the first woman voter of Fayetteville, N.Y., in 1880, forty years before ratification of the 19th amendment to the Constitution, guaranteeing the right to vote for all female citizens of the United States. In fact, thousands of women in New York State voted throughout the 1880s and 1890s, long before woman suffrage was recognized in New York. How could this be? Rivette answers that question.

This important work was the first biography written about Gage. Part of the four-book Reader Series published by the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation.
