Send us a textHappy close to Women's History Month, listeners! Tara and EmKay dive into the rich history of women's suffrage, led in part by the incredible Matilda Joslyn Gage. Matilda worked closely with Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the fight for women's equality, but was unfortunately written out of history due to her radical goal of including ALL women in the fight. On top of all that, she was the mother-in-law of one L. Frank Baum! Join as Tara and EmKay break down Angelica Shirley Carpenter's biography of Matilda, "Born Criminal," and highlight the amazing Matilda Joslyn Gage Center in Fayetteville, NY.Stay tuned for an interview with Ciarrai Eaton, Interim Executive Director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Center, dropping this Wednesday!Show notes:Author Talk: Born Criminal- Matilda Joslyn Gage, Radical SuffragistCommemorating 100 Years of Women's Right to Vote with Sue Boland - DTYBPBook Talk: Born Criminal: Matilda Joslyn Gage, Radical Suffragist Full EventBorn Criminal: Matilda Joslyn Gage, Radical Suffragist by Angelica Shirley CarpenterVera Bradley Wicked Collection@JoliCreates Instagram@JoliCreates Tik TokInstagram: @downtheyellowbrickpod#DownTheYBPTara: @taratagticklesEmKay: www.emilykayshrader.netPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/downtheyellowbrickpodEtsy: https://www.etsy.com/market/down_the_yellow_brick_podMusic by: Shane ChapmanEdited by: Emily Kay Shrader Down the Yellow Brick Pod: A Wizard of Oz Podcast preserving the history and legacy of Oz
