Harriet Beecher Stowe was a remarkable woman who changed the way people viewed slavery. She left an indelible mark on our world. I’m honored to share her story

Harriet Beecher Stowe presented by Paddy Lynn (Paddy Lynn Storyacting)
February 23 at 1 pm, Presented FREE via Zoom

This one-woman storytelling program on Harriet Beecher Stowe relates her life and times, and many personal insights into this amazing woman. Harriet was a wife, a mother, an educator, a writer, and more importantly, a visionary. She felt chosen to write a book unlike any other, not only of that period but even today. Harriet may have been a small five-foot white woman from New England but she had a profound impact on America. Why even President Lincoln upon meeting her said, “So this is the little lady who started this big war.”

A Zoom link will be sent out the week of the program in the free programs email, as well as separately. Please contact Marissa with any questions at [email protected].
