From the Executive Director:
Two yearsago I packed my belongings in a U- HaUl trailer in Sacramento,California, to make the long trek
to the home once owned by Matilda Joslyn Gage in Fayetteville, New York My goal was to seeif there was
sufficient interest to support the creationof an organization to bring Gage back to her rightful place in history;
Now the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation is incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in New York State
with a national presenceand a strong baseoflocaI support. We're heading into our secondnational conference
in two years.We have nine SyracuseUniversity interns working with us this semester.Severalhundred people
have been entertained in Matilda's parlor. Many thousandsmore have read about her in the excellentfull-page
publicity we've receivedand heard about her in talks to local and national organizations.
And Matilda is smiling!
Our national volunteer team of professionalswoUld be the envy of any CEO in the for-profit sector."We are
connected!Yeah! It is energizing!" MJ Broadbent, our NYC logo designerexulted in an email yesterday.Our
local team includes women who drive regularly from SenecaFalls and Oswego to work on events.(Too many to
thank all at once,we'll introduce you to a few dedicatedworkers in eachnewsletter).
It's time to take a breath..We're pausing to build a sub-structure that will grow with us and include for our
future plans:
...3. state-of-the-art database
...a. financial systemthat automaticallygeneratesall the governmentreports we must file
...a strategic plan for what we want to do in the next three years
We'd like your input in this process. Pleasetake a moment to answerthis question:"One thing I'd like to

Conversations wiili Friends from dIe Onondaga Nation
Matilda Joslyn Gage wrote in her newspaper,TheNational Citizen and Ballot Box, in 1878,"... the Indians
have beenoppressed-[and] are now...but the United Stateshas treaties with them, recognizing them as
distinct political communities and duty towards them demandsnot an enforced citizenship, but a faithful living
up to its obligations on the part of the government."To explore what this and her other writings on the Iroquois
mean for us today,we'll be holding a seriesof informal conversationswith Onondaga nation citizens.The first
one will be held at the Gage house on April 19 at 7:30 PM.

WRITING
WOMEN BACK INTO HISTORY AND RELIGION
A Weekend Celebration of the 175th anniversary of Matilda Joslyn Gage's birth
i
,
=D uring the 19th century, women transformed
March23-25,2001religion in the United States.They were critics standing outside the
church doors demanding an end to women being relegatedto second-classstatus.They were also believers,pushing
open those same doors to be acceptedasordained ministers and even establish their own religion. Women attempted to
transform the nature of the establishedchurch. Ironically, many of these early pioneers have been written out of history;
Matilda Joslyn Gage was perhapsthe strongestvoice of the 19th century religious critics. Her magnum opus, Woman,
Churchand State,stands today asa feminist classic,necessary,accordingto feminist theologian Mary Daly, for an
understanding of the contemporary woman'smovement. Gage believed that the religious right's turn-of-the-century
attempt to put God in the constitution and prayer in the public schoolsrepresentedthe ~avest danger to religious liberty
the country had faced. In 1890, she formed the Woman's National Liberal Union to preservethe First Amendment
separationof church and state.
I
Gage'sreligious liberalism rankled the increasinglyconservativewoman's suffragemovement, which wrote her out of
subsequenthistories of the movement.They also attempted, in 1895, to silence Elizabeth Cady Stanton'sWoman's Bibld,
to which Gage was a contributor. Nor were Gage and Stanton the only 19th century feminists lost in the causeof
religious liberty. Their coworkers,Jewish atheist Ernestine Rose,women'srights newspapereditor Clara Colby, and the
first regularly ordained woman minister, Olympia Brown, are among those who have been deprived of their rightful
place in history;
On the occasionof Matilda Joslyn Gage's 175th birthday weekend,we'll gather to remember Gage, her coworkersand
those women who first opened the doors of churchesto women. We will strategize on how to write them back into
history and religion.

Dear Fnends,
The very heart of a foundation is its information system,its database-and a weak heart can
bring anything to a standstill. Recendy, dte Gage Foundation was given an extraordinary gift.
Ellen Wass Beckerman, Foundation friend in North Carolina who is in dte business of creating
technical databasesfor large corporations, offered 515,000 worth of her servicesto custom design
a databasefor us. This state-of-the-art work allows us to track membersand provides a wide range
of printing capabilities-newsletter, booklets, brochures.It also givesus visual and audio presentation
potential. Ellen evenoffered to train people!
Trusting in feminist economics,we went forward. The Board said,"Go ahead,"a generoussupporter
lent the money,and equipment was purchasedso Ellen could set up the systemshe created.
Total cost for computer and software? 52,800.00.Pleaseread on.
Ellen spent a week training volunteers.She has given us the promised $15,000 of her services.
Generously,shehas offered to continue working with us until we have a perfect system,exacdy
what we need.And Mary Hudson, computerwizard at nearbySyracuseUniversity, alsooffered to
.trouble-shoot at our end.
Now, here is your golden opportunity!
