An American writer who wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, which is regarded as one of the most important novels in American literature whose 500,000 copies were sold within five years in the United States alone, was born on June 14, 1811, Litchfield, Connecticut, United States. Her first published work, a textbook called A New Geography for Children (1833), was co-written with her sister, Catharine Esther Beecher. Her next book The May flower, was appeared in 1843. A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin, was published in 1853. Stowe's later fiction was great in volume but uneven in quality, her best work lying in her stories of the local life of her own Puritan New England. Old town Folks, The Minister's Wooing, The Pearl of Orr's Island are acute psychological and spiritual studies of real people. Stowe also wrote short stories and religious poetry.
She died on July 1, 1896, in Hartford, Connecticut.
