| Event: | SSS-06 Harriet Beecher Stowe Center | Dates: | 2/29 | Time: | 10:00 to 12:00 | Category: | Spring2024-SingleSession | Location: | Zoom Teleconference | Presenter: | Karen Fisk, Executive Director, Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, Hartford, CT. | Harriet Beecher Stowe had relatively little power as a woman, with no official voice and no vote. Still by taking pen to paper she changed the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands and propelled the abolitionist movement. What can we learn from Stowe's civic engagement, literary activism, and strategic choice to use sentimental fiction? This course will combine readings with discussion to learn with and from each other and, possibly, inspire more civic engagement for each of us.
