| Dr. Sally
Roesch Wagner, the executive director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage
Foundation in Fayetteville, New York, is a nationally recognized lecturer,
author and performance interpreter of women's rights history. One of the
first women to receive a doctorate in the United States for work in
women's studies (US Santa Cruz), and a founder of one of the country's
first college women's studies programs, (CSU Sacrament). Dr. Wagner is a
pioneering feminist and social advocate in her own right. Most recently Wagner appeared as a "talking head" in the Ken Burns PBS documentary, "Not for Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony," for which she wrote the accompanying faculty guide for PBS. She was also an historian in the PBS special "One Woman, One Vote" and has been interviewed several times on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" and "Democracy Now." The Jeanette K. Watson Women's Studies Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Humanities at Syracuse University in Spring 1997 and currently adjunct faculty member in the women's studies program there, Wagner has been a consultant to the Publisher, the Writings of Mary Baker Eddy, and the National Women's History Project; she is a Research Affiliate of the Women's Resources and Research Center at the University of California, Davis. The theme of Wagner’s work has been telling the untold stories. The exhibit and her monograph of the same name, "She Who Holds the Sky: Matilda Joslyn Gage," reveal a suffragist who was written out of history because of her stand against the Religious Right of a hundred years ago, while her traveling exhibit and Women's Rights National Historical Park curriculum, "Sisters in Spirit," documents the influence of Iroquois women on early women's rights activists. Wagner keynoted the opening session of the 1998 National Women's Studies Association convention with a lecture on this topic. She also briefed the First Lady, the White House Millennium Council, and the press during Hillary Rodham Clinton's historic sites tour. taken from http://www.matildajoslyngage.org/sally.htm |
