Wagner tells the story of how feminist Matilda Joslyn Gage, who was considered equally important with Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton during her lifetime, got written out of history and the Herculean task to bring her back to her rightful place. All four of Gage’s children moved to Dakota, and she often visited, taking part in the woman suffrage campaigns of 1883 and 1890.

Wagner is one of the first women to receive a doctorate for work in women’s studies in the United States and is also a founder of one of the country’s first women’s studies programs at California State University, Sacramento (1970). A women’s studies professor for 36 years, she is adjunct faculty in the honors program at Syracuse University and executive director of the Gage Foundation in Fayetteville, N.Y. Wagner is the nation’s foremost authority on Matilda Joslyn Gage.

Wagner will sign copies of her books at the conclusion of the talk. For more information, call 415-1554.

Name-calling, crude language and personal abuse are not welcome. Moderators will monitor comments with an eye toward maintaining a high level of civility in this forum. Our comment policy explains the rules of the road for registered commenters.

If you don't see your comment, perhaps...

you called someone an idiot, a racist, a dope, a moron, etc. Please, no name-calling or profanity (or veiled profanity -- #$%^&*).
you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
