Julia Ward Howe (1819–1910) was a poet and author best known for writing the lyrics to “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” in 1861. Howe first published her writings anonymously in 1853 and continued to advocate for abolition and women’s suffrage. After the Civil War, she focused her activities on women’s rights, establishing the Association of American Women and helping found the New England Women’s Club and the New England Woman Suffrage Association. In 1889, The Cosmopolitan published volume seven, which featured the article, “Recollection of the Antislavery Struggle” by Julia Ward Howe. This nine-page article includes illustrations, featuring a drawing of Howe at the beginning of the article.
