Julia Ward Howe (1819 – 1910) was an American poet and author, well known for writing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" (1861), and the original 1870 pacifist Mother's Day Proclamation. She was also a prominent advocate for abolitionism and a social activist for women's suffrage.
"The World's Own" was the author's third book to be published: a drama.
