Frances Dana Gage Collection
Description: Frances Dana Gage (1808-1884) of McConnelsville, Ohio, was an influential participant in the abolitionist, temperance and women's rights movements in Ohio in the years before the American Civil War. In spite of her work throughout the 1840s and 1850s, Gage did not see women gain significant ground in the years prior to the Civil War. After the war, when it became evident that women would not gain rights from the Fourteenth or Fifteenth Amendments, women began to establish a number of national organizations to seek the right to vote.
