She Co-Wrote the History of Women’s Suffrage — Then They Erased Her Name | Matil

She co-authored the History of Woman Suffrage alongside Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Three volumes. Her name on every one.

Then her colleagues rewrote the story. Had her expelled from the organization she helped found. And removed her name from the movement she helped build.

Oh — and her son-in-law was L. Frank Baum. He credited Matilda as the inspiration for the strong, independent women of The Wizard of Oz.

You’ve probably never heard of her.

Without Her tells the stories of the women history forgot. New episodes every week.

A student's laptop in a lecture hall displays a Teen Vogue article about women's suffrage and race. Other students are seated in the background, facing a large projection screen. An overlay asks, "Is it weird to email prof before the semester?"
kindaa nervouss.
Is it weird to email a professor before the semester starts? I wanted to ask if they had any tips or reading I could look at early — maybe even an old syllabus. I’m aiming for a good GPA because I want to transfer later. But now I’m overthinking it. Am I being annoying? Or is that normal? #A
