Schweitzer Klassifikation
Harriet Beecher Stowe (June 14, 1811-July 1, 1896) was born in the United States. She was an American writer and abolitionist. She came from the Beecher family, a religious family, and became famous for her novel, Uncle Tom's Lodge (1852), which portrays the brutal conditions experienced by enslaved African Americans. The book reached millions of readers as a novel as well as for play and became so influential in the US and in Great Britain that it empowered anti-slavery forces in the American North while provoking extensive aggression in the South. Stowe published 30 books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections of letters and articles. She was prominent in both her compositions and in her public stances, and also in debates on social issues.
