About the author
Born in Boston on August 25, 1845, Florence Marion Howe Hall was the daughter of reformers Samuel Gridley Howe and Julia Ward Howe. She grew up in a family deeply involved in public life, and that background shaped her own work as a writer, critic, and lecturer.
Hall wrote on subjects ranging from women’s suffrage to manners and society, bringing a thoughtful, practical voice to questions of social change. With her sisters Laura Elizabeth Richards and Maude Howe Elliott, she coauthored Julia Ward Howe, the biography that received the first Pulitzer Prize awarded in that category.
She died on April 10, 1922. Today she is remembered both for her own writing and for the way she helped preserve the story of one of America’s most influential reform-minded families.
