Description
"The "fascinating, forgotten story" of a daughter of a renowned American family -- a suffragette and spiritualist who shocked New England society (Debby Applegate, Pulitzer Prize -- winning author of The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher ). Older sister Harriet Beecher Stowe was the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Brother Henry Ward Beecher was one of the nation's most influential ministers. Their sibling Catharine Beecher wrote pivotal works on women's rights and educational reform. And then there was Isabella Beecher Hooker -- "a curiously modern nineteenth-century figure." Tempest-Tossed is the first full biography of the passionate, fascinating youngest daughter of the "Fabulous Beechers" -- one of America's most high-powered families of the time. She was a leader in the suffrage movement, and a mover and shaker in Hartford, Connecticut's storied Nook Farm neighborhood and salon. But there is more to the story -- to Isabella's character -- than that. An ardent spiritualist, Isabella could be off-putting, perplexing, tenacious, or charming in daily life. Many found her daunting to get to know and stay on comfortable terms with. Her "wild streak" was especially unfavorable in the eyes of Hartford society at the time, which valued restraint and duty. In this book, Pulitzer Prize -- winning journalist Susan Campbell brings her own unique blend of empathy and unbridled humor to the story of Harriet's younger half-sister and her evolution from orthodox Calvinist daughter, wife, and mother to one of the most influential players in the suffrage movement, where this unforgettable woman finally gets her proper due."--,Provided by Freading.
