SUMMARY:Hot for Beecher
DESCRIPTION:Let’s spice up history class. 🔥 \nJoin the Stowe Center for Literary Activism for Hot for Beecher\, a lively interview-style program where scholarship meets serious heat. In this special installment\, Dr. Allison Speicher sits down with guest scholars Susan Campbell and Beth Burgess for a conversation that turns up the temperature—complete with increasingly spicy hot wings (cauliflower available for vegans!). \nTogether\, they’ll dive into the lives of John and Isabella Beecher Hooker—an abolitionist and suffragist power couple whose influence helped shape American history. \nCome for the history\, stay for the heat\, and discover the personalities behind one of America’s most compelling literary families.\nPlease note: this event is 21+. \n\n\n \nSusan Campbell \n\n\n \nBeth Burgess \n\n\n \nAllison Speicher \n\n\nAbout the Facilitators\nSusan Campbell is a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist\, widely read columnist\, and author of Tempest-Tossed: The Spirit of Isabella Beecher Hooker.
