Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner Collection 

Dr. Sally (as all her friends called her) wrote the brilliant, radical suffragist, Matilda Josyln Gage, back into our history. In so doing,
Dr. Sally not only revealed the importance of Gage's story, she also embodied Gage's vision of seeking and promoting justice. She embraced Gage's passionate fearlessness in all her work as a scholar and an activist. She, like Gage, was inducted into Wolf Clan of the Mohawk Nation. 
Dr. Sally's life’s work focused not only on reclaiming women’s voices in history, but also on amplifying the often-erased influence of Indigenous women on the early suffrage and democratic ideals in the United States. She was deeply committed to truth-telling, justice, and cross-cultural respect.

 This collection includes: 

A Time of Protest: Suffragists Challenge the Republic: 1870-1887
"We have “greater cause for revolution than the men of 1776” radical suffragists contended as they demonstrated, risked arrest, committed civil disobedience, refused to pay their taxes, ran a woman for U.S. president, and petitioned for their rights as citizens of a republic.
They illegally presented a Woman's Declaration of Rights at the Centennial celebration in 1876, protested the Statue of Liberty as a mockery at its unveiling in 1886, and claimed the Constitution didn't represent them in 1887.
These principled women did it, they said, for the women 100 years later. The empowering story of feminism's legacy of nonviolent civil disobedience is brilliantly told for the first time by a pioneer movement activist/historian, Sally Roesch Wagner. A founder of one of the country's first Women's Studies programs, and one of the first women to receive a Ph.D. for work in the discipline.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton's Speech on Her 80th Birthday.
Dr. Sally portrayed Elizabeth Cady Stanton in a National Chautauqua Lecture Series.  The experience expand her appreciation of the brilliance of Elizabeth Cady Stanton.  She published this little pamphlet so that all could be inspired by Stanton's pioneering vision.

Matilda Joslyn Gage: She Who Holds the Sky
One of the most radical, far-sighted and articulate early feminists, Matilda Josyln Gage was deliberately written out of history by an increasingly conservative suffrage movement.  Equal in importance to Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.  Gage was all but unknown today until  Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner wrote this Monograph to set the record straight.
