Sally Roesch Wagner is a nationally recognized lecturer and author of The Women's Suffrage Movement,. The program gives voice to the unsung women who helped shape the suffrage movement, including African American suffragists who faced racism within the movement, and Iroquois women whose society influenced suffragists.

Sally Roesch Wagner is the Executive Director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Center for Social Justice Dialogue. She contributed to and is featured in Ken Burns’ documentary "Not for Ourselves Alone: The Story of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony." The suffragists' concerns for equality, social justice and voting rights remain as pertinent today as ever.
