About the author

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896) was an American abolitionist and author, best known for her novel 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' (1852), which depicted the harsh realities of slavery and galvanized anti-slavery sentiments in the United States. Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, she was the seventh of thirteen children in the prominent Beecher family. Stowe was educated at the Hartford Female Seminary, which was founded by her elder sister. Throughout her life, Stowe wrote over thirty books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of articles and letters. Her literary style combined sentimentalism with a powerful moral critique of slavery, making her works among the most influential of her time. Stowe's 'Thanksgiving Stories' may not be as well-known as her landmark anti-slavery novel, but it is a testament to her range as a writer, capturing the domestic life and traditions important in 19th-century America. Stowe's work extended beyond literature; she used her fame and influence to support the abolitionist cause and later focused on other social issues such as women's rights and education. Her legacy is that of a pioneering woman who used her pen as a tool for social justice, leaving an indelible mark on American history and literature.
