Sally Roesch Wagner + Gloria Steinem | The Women’s Suffrage Movement SOLD OUT

Comprised of historical texts spanning two centuries, The Women’s Suffrage Movement is a comprehensive and singular volume that covers the major issues and figures involved in the movement, with a distinctive focus on diversity, incorporating race, class, and gender, and illuminating minority voices. In an effort to spotlight the many influential voices that were excluded from the movement, the writings of well-known suffragists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony are featured alongside accounts of Native American women who inspired suffragists like Matilda Joslyn Gage to join the movement, as well as African American suffragists such as Sarah Mapps Douglas and Harriet Purvis, who were often left out of the conversation because of their race. The editor and introducer, Sally Roesch Wagner, is a pre-eminent scholar of the diverse backbone of the women’s suffrage movement, the founding director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation, and serves on the New York State Women’s Suffrage Commission.

Join us at The New School’s Tishman Auditorium for a discussion between two academic giants and trailblazers in the history of women’s rights! The discussion will be moderated by New York Times gender editor and author of Feminist Fight Club, Jessica Bennett!

This event will take place in the New School’s John L. Tishman Auditorium, located in the University Center at 63 5th Ave, New York, NY 10003.

Presented in collaboration with the Executive Dean’s Office at the Schools of Public Engagement at The New School. This event is part of The New School’s Centennial celebration. Learn more at newschool.edu/100.
