Julia Ward Howe Julia Ward Howe (1819-1910) Julia Ward Howe, a writer, lecturer, and women's rights activist, was born in 1819 in New York City to Samuel Ward, Jr., a wealthy Wall Street stockbroker, and Julia Rush, a poet. Julia was educated by tutors at home and in girls' schools until age 16. In 1843, she married Samuel Gridley Howe, director of the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston. Her husband disapproved of women's work outside the home, so Howe spent her early married life in the domestic sphere, raising six children, reading and writing, and publishing poetry anonymously. Her writing during this period, such as her play, Leonora, or the World's Own , produced in New York in 1856, hints at frustration in her confinement from public reform work. Howe also published travel accounts throughout her life, beginning with her 1860 A Trip to Cuba In 1861, Howe traveled to Washington, D.C. with her husband, who was dispensing supplies to Union soldiers. Upon the suggestion of her friend, Rev. James Freeman Clarke, Julia re-wrote lyrics to the tune of a popular army song, "John Brown's Body," resulting in the famous "Battle Hymn of the Republic." The song was widely popularized through publication in the

Notable American Unitarians Julia Ward Howe Julia Ward was born in New York City, third of the six children of Julia Rush Cutler and Samuel Ward, a wealthy banker. Julia was tutored at home and at private schools in literature, languages, science and mathematics. She knew French from early childhood, began Italian at 14, later added German, and read Latin and Greek with ease. She had music lessons and voice training with the finest teachers available. The family home on Bond Street included an extensive library and art gallery. At 16 she left school and, in her words, "began thereafter to study in good earnest," continuing throughout her life to read literature, history and philosophy. By the time she was 20, she had written literary criticism published anonymously in the Literary and Theological Review and the New York Review Her mother died when Julia was five. Afterwards their father's influence dominated the children's lives. Samuel Ward, an Episcopalian and a strict Calvinist, was fiercely protective of them. Even so they enjoyed the fashionable social scene, especially after Samuel Ward Jr. married into the Astor family. High-spirited Julia, with her auburn hair, blue eyes and beautiful voice, was extremely popular. Mourning the death of her father in 1839, and soon afterwards that of a brother and a sister-in-law, she turned to the religion of her upbringing, though her reading had exposed her to more liberal ideas. Later she wrote, "I studied my way out of all the mental agonies which Calvinism can engender and became a Unitarian." Mary Ward of Boston sent her a sermon by

Battle Hymn of the Republic: Julia Ward Howe Julia Ward Howe, today, we know her by her poem, which are the lyrics for The Battle Hymn Of The Republic. Julia Ward was born in New York City in 1819. Her mother died when she was young. Her aunt, who was a strict disciplinarian, raised Julia. When her father died, Julia’s guardianship reverted to a more lenient uncle. Julia became more liberal on social and religious issues. When Julia was twenty-one, she married Samuel Gridley Howe. He was a veteran of the Greek War of Independence and had written of his experiences. He was a radical Unitarian and was the director of the Perkins Institute in Boston. Samuel carried his strict religious beliefs into his work with the blind and mentally ill. He opposed slavery. Julia became a Unitarian Christian. She believed in a loving God who cared about humanity. She believed Christ set a pattern for behavior and that it should be followed. She became a religious radical. Samuel had been attracted to Julia’s wit and quick mind. However, he believed that a woman’s place was in the home and that she should have no life outside of her domicile. Julia wrote poetry and attended church. She found her life frustrating – her marriage stifling. She did not adjust to being subsumed in the professional life of her husband. She became impatient with the violent and controlling Samuel. He mismanaged the inheritance her father had left her and was a womanizer. Julia stayed with him because he threatened to keep her children from her if she divorced him.

Julia Ward Howe was born in New York City on May 27, 1819. Her father, Samuel Ward, was a successful Wall Street banker. Her mother, Julia Rush Cutler Ward, a published poet in her own right, died shortly after giving birth to her seventh child, leaving Julia and her siblings in the care of their father. As the daughter of a wealthy family, Julia was exposed to some of the leading thinkers of her time, including Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Charles Dickens, Charles Sumner , and Margaret Fuller. When their father died in 1839, Julia and her two sisters moved to the home of their brother, Sam, who had recently married Emily Astor, granddaughter of John Jacob Astor. Under her supervision, Julia and her sisters were introduced to New York society. Tragedy struck in 1841, however, when Emily and her newborn son both died. In 1843, Julia married Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe, who was well known for his work on behalf of the Greek Revolution, for his reform work for prisoners, and his efforts in education for the blind. The couple spent most of their married years living at the Perkins Institute for the Blind, in Watertown, Massachusetts, which Howe had founded. The marriage was often a rocky one, with Dr. Howe firmly believing that "a woman's place is in the home" and Julia desiring a much more fulfilling life. There were rumors of infidelity, but little solid proof. And, to complete the less-than-ideal match, Dr. Howe was twenty years older than his wife.

So when and why did we start celebrating Moms with a special day? Turn up your speakers, scroll down and learn about this celebration. Be sure to print out this page and share it with your friends, family and of course your Mom! EARLY CELEBRATIONS Some historians believe that the earliest celebrations of Mother's Day was the ancient spring festival dedicated to mother goddesses. The ancient Greek empire had a spring festival honoring Rhea, wife of Cronus and mother of the gods and goddesses. In Rome there was a Mother's Day-like festival dedicated to the worship of Cybele, also a mother goddess. Ceremonies in her honor began some 250 years before Christ was born. This Roman religious celebration, known as Hilaria, lasted for three days - from March 15 to 18. ENGLAND'S MOTHERING SUNDAY England's "Mothering Sunday", similar to Mother's Day, also called Mid-Lent Sunday, is observed on the fourth Sunday in Lent. Some say the ceremonies in honor of Cybele were adopted by the early church to venerate the Mother of Christ, Mary. Others believe the Mother Church was substituted for mother goddess and custom began to dictate that a person visit the church of his/her baptism on this day. People attended the mother church of their parish, laden with offerings. Also in England in the 1600's, young men and women who were apprentices or servants returned home on Mothering Sunday, bringing to their mothers small gifts like trinkets or a "mothering cake". Sometimes frumenty was served - wheat grains boiled in sweet milk, sugared and spiced.
