The Cazenovia Public Library will celebrate the New York State centennial of women\u2019s suffrage with a special presentation by Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner\u2014a nationally recognized lecturer, author, and performance interpreter of women\u2019s rights history. The lecture, \u201cThe Rest of the Story of the Suffrage Movement,\u201d will be held on Thursday, Jan. 11, at 7:00 pm in the Community Room.<\/p>\n
In the 1880s, Susan B. Anthony was narrowly focused on the achievement of women\u2019s suffrage. Meanwhile, Matilda Joslyn Gage and Elizabeth Cady Stanton\u00a0urged society to look beyond the vote at the bigger picture. They agreed that rather than \u201cgive\u201d women the right to vote, the government simply needed to protect their existing right to exercise citizenship. In her presentation, Dr. Wagner will tell this story and explore issues of equality that remain relevant today.<\/p>\n
Dr. Wagner is the founding director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and a professor at Syracuse University. She received one of the nation\u2019s first doctorates in women studies and founded one of the first college-level women\u2019s studies programs in the United States. Wagner contributed to and is featured in Ken Burns\u2019 documentary\u00a0Not for Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.\u00a0She currently serves as a Public Scholar with the NYS Council for the Humanities.<\/p>\n
The Society for New Music will present a new opera about Matilda Joslyn Gage on\u00a0Sunday, January 21 at 4:00 pm\u00a0in the Carrier Theatre at the John H. Mulroy Civic Center Theaters.<\/p>\n
