Join Sally Roesch Wagner, a nationally recognized lecturer and author of The Women’s Suffrage Movement for a program that gives voice to the unsung women who helped shape the suffrage movement, including African American suffragists who faced racism within the movement, and Iroquois women whose society influenced suffragists. You’ll hear stories of the well-known suffragists, such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, as well as accounts of those often overlooked because of their race, from Native American women to African American suffragists like Ida B. Wells and the three Forten sisters.

Sally Roesch Wagner is the Executive Director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Center for Social Justice Dialogue. She contributed to and is featured in Ken Burns’ documentary Not for Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. The suffragists' concerns for equality, social justice and voting rights remain as pertinent today as ever.

Co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters, the Saratoga Springs Public Library and made possible with a grant from Humanities New York the program will be presented via zoom at two different sessions on Thursday, April 29th.
