Gage, Matilda Joslyn, 1826-1898
Matilda Joslyn Gage (b. Mar. 24, 1826, Cicero, NY–d. Mar. 18, 1898, Chicago, IL) was a prominent suffragist. Her father, Hezekiah Joslyn, was an abolitionist and his home was a station of the Underground Railroad. In 1845 she married Henry H. Gage, and had five children; her son-in-law was writer L. Frank Baum.
Gage became involved in the women's rights movement in 1852 when she decided to speak at the National Women's Rights Convention in Syracuse, NY. She served as president of the National Woman Suffrage Association (1875-1876). She wrote for various newspapers, reporting on the suffrage movement. In 1878, she bought the Ballot Box, a monthly journal of a Toledo(OH) suffrage association from Sarah R. L. Williams. Gage turned it into The National Citizen and Ballot Box.
