The article presents information on the book "Harriet Beecher Stowe: A life," by Joan D. Hedrick. Harriet Beecher Stowe's life spanned the nineteenth century, and her curiosity, career and enormous family kept her in touch with most of the major and minor movements of her time, from abolitionism to hydrotherapy, feminism to spiritualism. Harriet Beecher grew up listening to her brothers' and sisters' personal religious struggles to find salvation and spiritual peace of mind in a household where both God and the father were fearsome, stern and little moved by suffering.
