About this listen

 Dive into the captivating world of Harriet Beecher Stowe with Chimney Corner, a remarkable collection of her reflections penned after the Civil War. Presented as engaging dialogues between Christopher Crowfield (Stowes male pseudonym), his wife, their children Ben and Jenny, and a host of intriguing neighbors, these conversations unfold around the warmth of the fireside. Explore lively discussions on womens suffrage, education, entertainment, fashion, and the economic landscape of the Reconstruction era. Stowe thoughtfully examines how society can empower young women to lead fulfilling lives beyond marriage and dependence, while also contemplating the lasting economic impacts of the Civil War as she envisions a more civilized nation.
