Harriet Elisabeth Beecher Stowe (June 14, 1811 – July 1, 1896) was an
American abolitionist and author. She came from the Beecher family, a famous
religious family, and is best known for her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin
(1852), which depicts the harsh conditions for enslaved African Americans. The
book reached millions as a novel and play, and became influential in the
United States and Great Britain, energizing anti-slavery forces in the
American North, while provoking widespread anger in the South. Stowe wrote 30
books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of articles and
letters. She was influential for both her writings and her public stances on
social issues of the day.
Multiple landmarks are dedicated to the memory of Harriet Beecher Stowe,
and are located in several states including Ohio, Florida, Maine and
Connecticut. The locations of these landmarks represent various periods of her
life such as her father's house where she grew up, and where she wrote her
most famous work.
The Harriet Beecher Stowe House in Cincinnati, Ohio, is the former home of
her father Lyman Beecher on the former campus of the Lane Seminary. Her father
was a preacher who was greatly affected by the pro-slavery Cincinnati Riots of
1836. Harriet Beecher Stowe lived here until her marriage. It is open to the
public and operated as a historical and cultural site, focusing on Harriet
Beecher Stowe, the Lane Seminary and the Underground Railroad. The site also
presents African-American history.[30]
