Quotable Atheist quote of the day 1.27.11
“Believing this country to be a political and not a religious organisation…the editor of the National Citizen will use all her influence of voice and pen against ‘Sabbath Laws,’ the uses of the ‘Bible in School,’ and pre-eminently against an amendment which shall introduce ‘God in the Constitution.’”
-Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826-1898), a nineteenth-century American suffragist-abolitionist-freethinker-writer-editor-activist. Wrote Women, Church and State, about Christianity’s role in the oppression of women. Coauthored Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s heretically feminist Woman’s Bible. President of the National Woman Suffrage Association. Mother-in-law of Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum. The tendency of women scientists to receive less credit than their work merits has been named, after her, the Matilda Effect.
