Susan Campbell to Lecture on Rebellious Suffragist and Abolitionist Isabella Beecher Hooker at Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum

In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum will host a lecture, “Swimming Against the Tide in Crinoline and Pin Curls: The Life and Spirit of Isabella Beecher Hooker,” featuring award-winning author Susan Campbell. The lecture will be preceded by a wine reception (by donation) at 6 p.m.

Isabella Beecher Hooker, the younger half-sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe, was a prime example of the modern woman—trying to have it all, and trying to have it all at once.
