  • Summary

  • We're back for the 2024-2025 season! And what better way to begin than to discuss the history of a sisterhood between the Haudenosaunee women and the American suffragists. Join us as we interview Sally Roesch Wagner, noted feminist pioneer, activist and author as we discuss her book, Sisters In Spirit.

    The Iroquois, alternatively referred to by the endonym Haudenosaunee, are a confederacy of Native Americans and First Nations peoples in northeast North America. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Lucretia Mott had formed friendships with Haudenosaunee women that enabled them to see the real possibility of creating a very different structure for their American culture, a matriarchal one, like the one that their Haudenosaunee sisters had experienced for generations.

    We talk to Sally Roesch Wagner about this amazing story and how she discovered this overlooked pieced of American feminist herstory.

    Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.
