American Library Association Amelia Bloomer List FinalistMidwest Book Awards WinnerForeword INDIE Awards FinalistBenjamin Franklin Award Silver Award“All the crimes which I was not guilty of rushed through my mind. I failed to remember that I was a born criminal—a woman.”—Matilda Joslyn GageRadical, feminist, writer, suffragist—Matilda Joslyn Gage changed the course of United States history. She fought for equal rights for women not dependent on race, class, or religion. Yet her name has faded into obscurity. She is overlooked when her comrades, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, are celebrated. In the first biography on this important woman, Angelica Shirley Carpenter explores Gage’s life, including her rise and fall within the movement she helped build.Carpenter’s next book, The Voice of Liberty, features the woman suffrage movement’s rousing protest of the Statue of Liberty. In 1886, Gage and other suffrage supporters sailed a cattle barge into the center of the dedication. Find out why they opposed this national icon by visiting sdhspress.com.

Recensioner i media

“Carpenter’s book is a strong reminder that history is written by the victors. Born Criminal is an inspirational portrait of a woman who never gave up the fight for equality; her message could not be more timely or more necessary.”—Foreword Reviews“This impeccably researched narrative is often lively but also dense with detail, with many photos extending the text. Gage is a forgotten heroine, and those interested in women’s history will appreciate this restoration.”—Booklist
