Four Harriets: Three Runaways and a Novelist 3 Sessions with Marilyn Harris on Wednesdays, starting Jan 10, 1:00PM-2:30PM

In her book, Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich briefly highlights four outstanding women: Harriet Powell, Harriet Jacobs, Harriet Tubman, and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
