EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Julia Ward Howe, a pivotal figure in American history, as she gazes introsively into the distance. Born in New York City in 1819, Howe was a Unitarian church preacher, poet, and suffrage pioneer, whose profound impact on American literature and social reform cannot be overstated. Howe's most famous work, "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," was written in 1861 during the American Civil War. Inspired by a dream, she penned the lyrics to this powerful hymn, which became a rallying cry for the Union army and remains an iconic piece of American music to this day. The opening lines, "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord," are etched into the collective consciousness of Americans. But Howe's contributions extended far beyond her poetic talents. She was a passionate advocate for women's suffrage and played a significant role in the early days of the suffrage movement. In 1870, she organized the first Woman's Suffrage Procession in Washington, D.C., and later served as the president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association from 1870 to 1872. Howe's life was not without controversy. Her radical views on women's rights and her outspokenness on social issues often put her at odds with conservative elements of society. But she remained undeterred, using her voice and her pen to champion the causes she believed in. This photograph, taken likely in the late 19th or early 20th century, captures a moment of quiet reflection from a woman who dedicated her life to shaping the course of American history. With her piercing gaze and steadfast determination, Julia Ward Howe continues to inspire generations of Americans to stand up for their beliefs and fight for a better world.
