Acerca del autor
Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896) was an American author and social activist, best known for her novel 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' (1852), a poignant depiction of African American life under slavery that played a significant role in the antislavery movement. Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, into a family with strong abolitionist beliefs, Stowe was the daughter of the famous preacher Lyman Beecher and sister of clergyman and social reformer Henry Ward Beecher. Her literary journey commenced with the publication of short stories and travel pieces but reached its pinnacle when she harnessed her writing as a force against slavery. Stowe's commitment to using literature to effect social change was evident throughout her career. 'Queer Little Folks' (1867) is another notable work, comprising a collection of charming children's stories that incorporate moral lessons and reflect on society through anthropomorphized animal characters. Stowe's literary style is characterized by its strong narrative and vivid characterizations, which translated complex social issues into personal and relatable stories. Her body of work extends beyond the anti-slavery texts, touching upon various genres, but all of her writing endeavors shared the common aim of challenging the prevailing social norms of her time. Stowe's legacy persists as a testament to the power of literature as an instrument for social change and the advancement of civil rights.
