About the author

Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, in 1811, Harriet Beecher Stowe grew up in a prominent religious and reform-minded family. She later lived in Cincinnati, where her close view of slavery and the tensions around it deeply shaped her writing.

Stowe became internationally famous with the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852. The novel was a huge success, reaching a vast readership in the United States and abroad, and it made her one of the most influential American writers of her century.

She went on to write novels, essays, and travel pieces for many years, but Uncle Tom's Cabin remains the work most closely linked to her legacy. She died in 1896, remembered as an author whose storytelling helped move a major public argument into ordinary homes and conversations.
