Harriet Beecher Stowe Claude Monet Studied Literature at Hartford Female Seminary * From: Litchfield, Connecticut *Lives in Brunswick, Maine * Married to Calvin Ellis Stowe * Born on June 14, 1811 Basic Info About Harriet I began my career as a teacher at the Western Female Institute with my sister Catherine. I wrote as a hobby but co-write several geography textbooks. I enjoy interviewing former slaves and telling their stories. When I lived in Cincinnati, Ohio I visited a plantation and discovered the horrors of slavery in the South and decided to write a book on the topic of slavery. The National Era began publishing my stories, which would be Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which was very popular in several other countries including England. I met Queen Victoria and Charles Dickens in England. I am most proud about meeting President Lincoln and his comment about me being the “little lady that started the war.” Friends Philosophy Queen Victoria Favorite Quotations “I did not write it. God wrote it. I merely did his dictation.” Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

Harriet Beecher Stowe http://world.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/uncle-toms-cabin2.jpg My biggest claim to fame was my book Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Published in 1852, the anti-slavery novel tells the story of Uncle Tom, a slave who, despite the evils of slavery can show Christian love to his fellow human beings. Dred. A Tale of the Great Dismal Swamp was a follow up to Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Set in North Carolina’s Dismal Swamp, the story follows Harry Gordon, a faithful slave who is tied by blood or circumstance to most of the other characters and Dred, a militant leader of fugitive slaves hiding out in the swamp. I wrote A Key to Uncle Tom’s Cabin after criticism from pro- slavery critics claiming my novel was false and fictionized in its description of slavery. It was written to defend my views (and those in anti-slave states) of slavery from the personal accounts from former slaves. My Writings By Harriet Beecher Stowe (Albums) * Updated 1 day ago Often compared to Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, in the Minister’s Wooing, I write about New England’s view on slavery and their Calvinist theology. After touring the United States and Europe, I wrote the memories of my travels into two volumes. There are many stories, letters and memories to describe my journeys.
