Matilda Joslyn Gage

Matilda Joslyn Gage was a prominent American suffragist, abolitionist, and author, known for her advocacy of women's rights and social justice in the 19th century. She played a significant role in the women's suffrage movement and was a co-founder of the National Woman Suffrage Association. Gage's notable work, "Woman, Church & State: The Original Exposé of Male Collaboration Against the Female Sex," critiques the historical and institutional oppression of women, linking religious and political systems to the subjugation of women. Her writings continue to inspire discussions on gender equality and women's rights.
