Address to the American Equal Rights Association

By: Frances D. Gage

Narrated by: Ginger Walton

Frances D. Gage was one of the most significant figures in women’s history that the United States ever produced. Gage was a leading figure in feminism, reformation, and various human rights campaigns in the 19th century. She was also a passionate and vocal support of the abolitionist movement and it was regarding the fight for emancipation of the salves at the time that Gage made her Address to the American Equal Rights Association, delivered at the association’s first anniversary at the Church of the Puritans, New York in 1867. In the address, Gage uses wit, intelligence, and stirring rhetoric. Not only historically significant, the address is a masterclass in oratory.

Worth the listen to anyone advocating for the ERA

Excellent narration, articulate and well thought out argument for women's rights. Regarding the Equal Rights Amendment fight, subject material relevant in our modern times. Completely blown away how she laid out how women's rights are needed and deserved and discounted every argument against it.
