Q: “What do you plan to read next?”
A: “A manuscript by my friend Sally Roesch Wagner, who has spent many years learning how and why the Seneca women and others of the Iroquois Confederacy inspired by example their European American women neighbors to start the suffrage movement. Very real. Very unknown. Very exciting.”

Testimonials
120 program evaluations demonstrated that Dr. Wagner was an inspiring and respected speaker, and her presentations were viewed as valuable with attendees of all ages gaining new information.
Here are just a few comments from attendees:
● I valued the depth of her understanding and her ability to tell stories, weaving native women and suffragists’ histories.
● Wagner’s lecture was interesting, educational, and inspiring.
● The program deepened my understanding of the foundation of the suffrage movement and our debt to indigenous people.
● Dr. Wagner was able to give a great survey of the some 1000 years of women's suffrage. I found especially interesting the history of the native tribes' governance structure and women's roles in that.
● She discussed the history of the women in a straightforward way without glossing over or sugarcoating certain parts or people.
● The entire series was wonderful! The speaker was interesting-articulate and so knowledgeable. So much I wasn't aware of.

There are few who can make the past come alive in all its ferocious, often flawed and sometimes majestic complexity as you did on Monday evening.
We all thank you for a very special evening.

… just what our campus needed…a wonderful job of bringing Stanton’s radical ideas alive for a largely conservative audience. I’ve heard nothing but positive reviews.

One of the few educational programs which directly, assertively and seriously attends to the issue(s) of race and gender.
