About the author

Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, in 1811, Harriet Beecher Stowe grew up in the prominent Beecher family and became both a writer and an abolitionist. Time spent in Cincinnati gave her close contact with antislavery circles and with people whose firsthand experiences of slavery deeply shaped her thinking.

She became internationally famous after Uncle Tom's Cabin appeared in 1851–1852. The novel reached a huge audience in the United States and abroad, and it played a major role in strengthening antislavery feeling before the Civil War.

Stowe wrote more than 30 books over the course of her career, but Uncle Tom's Cabin remains her best-known work. She spent her later years in Hartford, Connecticut, where she died in 1896, and she is still remembered as a writer whose fiction helped move public opinion and moral debate.
