Episode 264 Matilda Joslyn Gage - Suffragist, Believer in Equality, and Firebrand

There is so much going on in this episode, I almost don't know where to begin.  In his corner, Arthur discusses his new school year, art and Undertales.  Then we settle in to learn about Matilda Joslyn Gage.  Raised in a home that was a stop for the Underground Railroad, she learned lessons early about equality and doing the right thing and translated those messages into a voice for the right of women to vote, to invent, to live on their own terms and not just women.  She beilieved in the sovereignty of indiginous people and the abolishment of slavery.  We need a little of her spirit even now.  We also talk about how she affected Frank L. Baum her son-in-law and how she became the pattern for Glinda the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz.  All this and sooooo much more in our latest episode of the Family Plot Podcast!!We also reference:  Clara Barton from Episode 260The Salem Witch Trials from Episode 80 and 81.And Sharon Kinne from Episode 251.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
