About the Matilda Joslyn Gage Center
The Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation is dedicated to preserving and advancing the legacy of Matilda Joslyn Gage, whose social justice contributions have been systematically erased, as well as uplifting marginalized voices throughout history.
The Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation envisions a world in which history is told fully and truthfully, honoring radical voices that challenged power and expanded human rights. We strive to be a nationally recognized center for inclusive historical interpretation, feminist scholarship, and civic dialogue.
