Autorenporträt
Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826–1898) was a prolific American writer, feminist, and social activist, well-remembered for her unwavering advocacy for women's rights and her critical examination of the role played by religious and social institutions in the oppression of women. Gage was born in Cicero, New York, into an abolitionist family and was heavily influenced by the reformist environment of her household. Her seminal work, 'Woman, Church & State,' published in 1893, embodies her radical ideas as it vehemently criticizes the Church and its entrenched patriarchal norms, offering a historical perspective on the subjugation of women and promoting a vision of gender equality. Gage's work in this text is an exemplification of her skillful intertwining of historical scholarship with fervent activism. Throughout her career, she collaboratively authored 'The History of Woman Suffrage' with other notable suffragists such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, further cementing her legacy as a foundational figure in the women's suffrage movement. Her writings, characterized by a piercing and analytical literary style, have inspired generations of feminists and continue to serve as an important reference for studies in women's history and feminist theory.
