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. -- https://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page) “I gave my love a golden feather; I gave my love a heart of stone; When you find a golden feather it means you’ll never lose your way back home”(RR)
