Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner will present The Rest of the Suffrage Story at 1:30 Sunday,
September 24, at the Smithfield Community Center, 5255 Pleasant Valley Road, Peterboro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sally Roesch Wagner PhD, Founder and Executive Director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Center for Social Justice Dialogue in Fayetteville will be the final speaker for the Peterboro Women\u2019s History Weekend at 1:30 on Sunday, September 24 at the Smithfield Community Center in Peterboro.<\/p>\n

Wagner\u2019s program will culminate a weekend of activities related to women\u2019s suffrage, dress reform, and the 19 th C. \u201cdomestic sphere\u201d in commemoration of the Centennial of NYS Women\u2019s Suffrage. Wagner will present The Rest of the Story of the Suffrage Movement which relates to Matilda Joslyn Gage\u2019s and Elizabeth Cady Stanton\u2019s position in 1880 on women\u2019s voting.<\/p>\n

These two co-leaders of the National Woman Suffrage Association were beginning to see differently than Susan B. Anthony, the\u00a0third co-leader of the organization. Anthony believed the movement should concentrate on getting women the vote. Gage contended that women already had the right to vote \u2013 that in a system based on the consent of the governed, the government just needed to protect the right to exercise citizenship, not\u00a0\u201cgive\u201d the right.<\/p>\n

The format of the presentation is informal story-telling followed by engagement with the audience designed to draw out insights, contemporary connections and opinions in a safe, respectful environment.
\nDr. Wagner serves on the Governor\u2019s New York Suffrage Centennial Commission. Awarded one of the
