Meet the Author:
Friday, March 26th @ 5:30pm
Join author Regina Luttrell at the Matilda Joslyn Gage House for a conversation about Rage & Hope, a powerful look at the women, messages, and movements that turned frustration into action.
From Votes for Women to My Body, My Choice, Luttrell traces how women used strategy, storytelling, protest, and media to push for change across generations.
At the heart of the book are two forces that have always moved the women’s movement forward: rage at injustice and hope for something better.
Votes for Women! The Future Is Female! My Body, My Choice!
The words are instantly recognizable. They appeared on banners, buttons, posters, T-shirts, protest signs, and eventually across television screens and social media feeds. But a slogan alone does not create a movement. Someone has to give it meaning, put it in front of the right audience, capture public attention, and turn a moment of frustration into a reason to act.
That is the story at the heart of Rage & Hope.
Spanning more than a century of the women’s movement, Regina Luttrell traces how women transformed anger over inequality into organized campaigns for change. Drawing on historical artifacts, defining moments, and carefully crafted messages, she uncovers the strategy behind some of feminism’s most recognizable campaigns, from the fight for suffrage to the movements shaping women’s lives today.
The story is driven by two forces that have repeatedly propelled women forward: rage at injustice and hope that something better is possible. Together, they inspired women to take risks, organize, persuade, protest, command media attention, and keep going through setbacks, backlash, and moments when progress seemed impossibly far away.
Rage & Hope looks beyond the victories. It explores the disagreements, exclusions, competing priorities, and difficult questions that have existed within the women’s movement itself, revealing a history that is complicated, imperfect, and deeply human.
Ultimately, Rage & Hope is the story of how women learned to turn fury into strategy, ideas into headlines, and individual acts of resistance into a movement powerful enough to change the world.
