For my I Am Project, I am researching Matilda Joslyn Gage. Before, I knew absolutely nothing about her. I chose her because i wanted to learn about someone totally new. Turns out to be that she was pretty interesting. She had many jobs; she was a suffragist, historian of woman, an author, lecturer, woman's right activist/ theorist, an advocate for civil rights, and abolitionist. Before, i picked to do Matilda, I researched briefly about her. In general, she worked to get the woman's right to vote and did things such as helping to found the NWSA(National Woman Suffragist Association).In addition, she also worked to free slaves. Her house was even a station of the underground railroad! I have discovered several interesting facts and questions. One is how she lived within a thirty-mile radius within her home, which is Syracuse, New York. didn't she ever want to at least travel out of New York? or What lead to her decision about becoming a suffragist?
