- Julia Ward Howe was born in New York City, one of seven children in a prominent family. She was educated at home by tutors and became extremely well-read from her father's extensive library. In 1843, she married Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe and moved with him to Boston, where he founded the Perkins Institute for the Blind and she became a writer, editor, and abolitionist. She published "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" in 1862 after a visit to a Union camp near Washington, DC.

The Hermaphrodite (Legacies of Nineteenth-Century… di Julia Ward Howe
Howe's unfinished and fragmentary manuscript suffers from overwrought prose and some outright ridiculous plot elements that are not quite counterbalanced by a few moments of real insight. This is not a "good" book, but that is such an arbitrary value judgment and not really important here. What is important is that Howe, within her time, is dealing frankly and evocatively with subject matter that has no other voice in this period. Now, as a sort of canon begins to form regarding the literature of non-normative gender and sexuality, we might look at this text more for its historical value as a cultural object rather than attempt to evaluate it as literature.… (altro)
A fragmentary, unfinished, rather-rough-in-places novel from the point of view of a hermaphrodite, but fascinating nonetheless. The most exciting scenarios are used up pretty early on in the book, when the narrator comes closest to having sexual relationships with first a woman and then a man. But I was surprised to find that even the other, less sexy stuff held my interest. Howe raises a lot of interesting ideas and questions about sex, gender, and love in the 19th century.
