Matilda Joslyn Gage Center

The Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation is dedicated to educating current and future generations about Gage’s work and its power to drive contemporary social change. At the heart of our mission is the story of Matilda Joslyn Gage, a progressive visionary of women’s rights and human liberation and an often unacknowledged leader who, with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, wrote the arguments, inspired the passions, and organized the political action of the 19th century woman suffrage movement in the United States. Unlike traditional historic house museums, the Center is designed to be a place of inspiration and engagement. We encourage visitors to sit on the furniture, play the 19th century piano, and even write on the walls!
