Julia Ward Howe e o
Hino de Batalha da República
This 39-page visual biography tells the story of Julia Ward Howe (1819–1910), who wrote one of America’s most powerful and enduring songs — The Battle Hymn of the Republic — during the Civil War.
The story highlights her deep commitment to abolition that she shared with her husband, and how one inspired night she wrote a song that will forever echo throughout America.
Julia Ward Howe’s story shows that a life of purpose often combines personal talent, strong partnerships, long-term commitment to justice, and the courage to act when inspiration strikes.
She did not set out to write a famous song. She lived a life of conviction and service, stayed engaged in the great moral issues of her time, and was ready when the moment came to turn a simple marching tune into one of America’s most powerful anthems.
Her life reminds us that ordinary people with talent and conviction can create extraordinary impact — sometimes in a single night of inspired work.
