Workshop: Writing for Change

  • Harriet Beecher Stowe House (map)

Harriet Beecher Stowe: Writing for Change
Class Tuition = $15. Open to all genders, ages 16+.
Registration required through Women Writing for (a) Change.

Join us as we explore how Cincinnati's pre-Civil War history, geography, and society influenced writer and twenty-year resident Harriet Beecher Stowe's famous anti-slavery novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. After touring the Beecher family home with a docent-led presentation, we will consider Beecher Stowe's process in crafting a story to promote empathy for the American slave experience that fueled social change. Writing prompts will guide participants in their own journey to discover, question, and understand more about this pivotal time in our shared history.

Women Writing for (a) Change partners with the Harriet Beecher Stowe House for the fourth program in their ten-part series around the city. The series is designed to explore and consider a variety of cross cultural expressions, and to foster deeper understanding and awareness of different racial, ethnic, and cultural traditions.

NOTE: The Facebook RSVP does not register you. REGISTRATION REQUIRED through the ticket link with Women Writing for (a) Change.
