Although she was one of the leading thinkers and writers of the
women's suffrage movement, Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826-1898) was
largely written out of history. After working in collaboration with
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, and after serving as
president of the National Woman Suffrage Association, Gage
developed increasingly radical views on feminism, religious
liberty, and equality under the law. She eventually parted ways
with the suffrage movement and founded the more progressive Woman's
National Liberal Union. In Witness to Rebellion, award-winning
author Peter Svenson presents and examines Gage's last significant
work, a scrapbook that collects newspaper clippings about the Civil
War from the 1860s onward. Providing relevant contextual
information, Svenson formats the content of the scrapbook to
transform this important artifact into a readable work that offers
a new and engaging perspective on nineteenth-century American
history. Gage's scrapbook sheds light on her thinking, both as a
feminist and a Union patriot, as she lived through the bloodshed
and upheaval of the war years and their aftermath. Witness to
Rebellion is a valuable resource not only for scholars of history,
women's studies, and material culture, but also for general readers
with interest in women's suffrage and the Civil War.
