Description

Matilda Joslyn Gage was the youngest speaker at the 1852 woman’s rights convention in Syracuse, NY.  It was the start of her career as a lecturer, author, and activist.  Gage broke with the National Woman Suffrage Association, as she felt they were only concerned with women’s right to vote.  Matilda Joslyn Gage founded the Woman’s National Liberal Union, in 1890, a more liberal organization, which supported Native American rights, abolition, and equality for all, as well as, woman’s suffrage.

CIVIL RIGHTS & WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE

In the United States, women did not have the right to vote until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.  It states The right of citizens of the U.S. to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the U.S. or by any State on account of sex.  Women’s suffrage emerged from the broader women’s rights movement of the 1840’s, and two competing organizations, one led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and another led by Lucy Stone.  In 1890, they merged becoming the National American Woman Suffrage Association led by Susan B. Anthony.
