Women’s Crusader: Love, Loss, and a Life’s Calling – The Crusade of Catharine Beecher
Join us for a fascinating evening celebrating history, resilience, and the enduring power of women’s voices. We are delighted to welcome award-winning author and historian R. Lee Wilson for an engaging, visual presentation featuring his latest biography, Women’s Crusader.
Women’s Crusader is the compelling and meticulously researched untold story of Catharine (Kate) Beecher—a fun-loving extrovert turned pioneering advocate for women’s education. Once among the most famous women in America, Kate’s remarkable life has been largely overshadowed by her younger sister, abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe.
