Who Was Harriet Beecher Stowe?

Audiobook
Born in Connecticut in 1811, Harriet Beecher Stowe was an abolitionist, author, and playwright.

The publication of her book, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a scathing anti-slavery novel, fanned the flames that started the Civil War. The book’s emotional portrayal of the impact of slavery captured the nation’s attention. A best-seller in its time, Uncle Tom’s Cabin sealed Harriet Beecher Stowe’s reputations as one of the most influential anti-slavery voices in US history.
