Collaborative Archaeology at the Gage and Cheney Houses
Author(s): Kim Christensen
Year: 2013
Summary
Studies of reformers and the sites associated with them provide an opportunity to examine how people in the past sought to better their world and in turn, powerfully connect to contemporary efforts to reform society. In this paper, I detail the collaborative archaeological projects undertaken at two sites associated with female reformers – Matilda Joslyn Gage and May Cheney – noting the ways in which non-hierarchical, feminist-inspired research practices were employed in attempts to connect past struggles with contemporary concerns.
