   Tonight on CBC Radio One’s Ideas there was a program on   
   The Forgotten Suffragist: Matilda Joslyn Gage. It can   
   be listened to at   
      
   https://tinyurl.com/j2ntd34u .   
      
   The abstract, from that page, is:   
      
   Feb. 26, 2026   
      
   Gloria Steinem calls her “the woman ahead of the women who were ahead of   
   their time.” Matilda Joslyn Gage worked side by side with Susan B. Anthony   
   and Elizabeth Cady Stanton to get women the vote in the United States and   
   co-wrote the history of the women’s movement with them. So why do we not   
   know her name? IDEAS producer Dawna Dingwall reveals how a towering   
   figure in the women’s rights movement was erased by her peers, and how   
   a chance discovery put another self-described radical feminist on a mission   
   to write Matilda Gage’s story back into our consciousness.   
      
   me again:   
      
   She was into theosophy and described witches as scientists and wrote   
   a book called Women, Church, and State that was anti-church and   
   lobbied for the maintenance of the separation of church and state,   
   whereas Anthony and Stanton capitulated to the Christian church.   
   Her son in law was L. Frank Baum, author of Wizard of Oz.
