As a poet, author, and keen observer of life in 1870s Boston,
Harriet Robinson played an essential - if occasionally
underappreciated - role in the women's suffrage movement during
Boston's golden age. Robinson flourished after leaving behind her
humble roots in the mill town of Lowell, Massachusetts, deciding to
spend a year in Boston discovering the culture and politics of
America's Athens. An honest, bright, and perceptive witness, she
meets with Emerson and Julia Ward Howe, with whom she organizes the
New England Women's Club, and drinks deeply of the city's artistic
and cultural offerings. Noted historian Claudia L. Bushman proves a
wonderful guide as she weaves together Robinson's journal entries,
her own learned commentary, and selections from other
nineteenth-century writers to reveal the impact of the industrial
revolution and the rise of women's suffrage as seen through the
experience of one articulate, engaged participant. Going to Boston
will appeal to readers interested in both the history of Boston and
the history of American progress itself.
