Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811 to 1896) was a white female author of Uncle Tom's Cabin, a novel discussing the horrors of slavery that galvinized the abolitionist movement in America. A woman of deep Christian convictions, she felt those convictions led her to write her most famous novel. Her father was a minister, her brother a minister, and her husband a minister. She lost her mother at an early age and one of her children as an infant, losses that helped her to emphathize with the hurt caused by slavery and the selling off of families.
