A "rich, varied, sensitive" biography of three nineteenth-century women: an educator, an early feminist, and the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin (Publishers Weekly).
Daughters of the famous evangelist Lyman Beecher, Catherine, Harriet, and Isabella could not follow their father and seven brothers into the ministry. Nonetheless, they carved out path-breaking careers for themselves. Catharine Beecher founded the Hartford Female Seminary and devoted her life to improving women's education. Harriet Beecher Stowe became world famous as the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. And Isabella Beecher Hooker was an outspoken advocate for women's rights.
This engrossing book is a joint biography of the sisters, whose lives spanned the full course of the nineteenth century. The life of Isabella Beecher-who has never been the subject of a biography-is examined in particular detail here, as Barbara White draws on little used sources to explore Isabella's political development and her interactions with her sisters and with prominent people of the time-from Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Mark Twain.
