Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher Stowe. Julia Ward Howe, Clara Barton and Sarah Josepha Hale came from backgrounds that ranged from abject enslavement to New York City's elite.  Surmounting social and political obstacles, they emerged before and during the worst crisis in American history, the Civil War. Their actions became strands in a tapestry of courage, truth, and patriotism that influenced the lives of millions—and illuminated a new way forward for the nation.
In this collective biography, Robert C. Plumb traces these five remarkable women’s awakenings to analyze how they changed history.
