Throughout her life, she used her writing and her influence to advocate for justice and equality. Eliza Lee Cabot Follen passed away on January 26, 1860, in Brookline, Massachusetts, at the age of 72, leaving behind a legacy of commitment to social reform and the rights of the oppressed. Her contributions to literature and her advocacy for freedom remain a significant part of her legacy.
