Omschrijving
Matilda Joslyn Gage changed the course of United States history. She fought for equal rights for women not dependent on race, class, or religion. Yet her name has faded into obscurity. In the first biography on this important woman, Angelica Shirley Carpenter explores Gage's life, including her rise and fall within the movement she helped build.
“Carpenter’s book is a strong reminder that history is written by the victors. Born Criminal is an inspirational portrait of a woman who never gave up the fight for equality; her message could not be more timely or more necessary.”—Foreword Reviews
“This impeccably researched narrative is often lively but also dense with detail, with many photos extending the text. Gage is a forgotten heroine, and those interested in women’s history will appreciate this restoration.”—Booklist
