Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826-1898) co-authored A History of Woman Suffrage. She was written-out of history because her book Woman, Church and State and the uncompromising radicalness of her activism. Historian and activist Sally Roesch Wagner worked for a number of decades to restore Gage's place in feminist and women's suffrage history. Incredibly, the struggle to win woman suffrage in the United States lasted 72 years (1848-1920) and involved millions of women and men making enormous sacrifices. Suffrage was won in New York State on November 6, 1917 with New York City men, led by trade unionists and immigrants, favoring suffrage by over 100,000 votes.
