Harriet Beecher Stowe: The Voice of Humanity in White America
by
Henry Elliot
Following the passage of a law that made it a crime to aid in the escape of slaves, Stowe lent her actions and her words to the effort to help slaves and put an end to slavery. She actively aided fugitive slaves and, with the publication of the anti-slavery novel Uncle Toms Cabin, focused the nations consciousness on the inhumanity of slavery.

I learned some fascinating things about Harriet Beecher Stowe in this short biography. I've always wanted to read "Uncle Tom's Cabin", and this book made me want to read it even more. It also made me want to learn even more about her.
This short biography gives a human face to the legend behind the story Uncle Tom's Cabin. She was friends with Frederick Douglass, and an abolitionist. This book shows that she was not someone writing because she could, but to make a difference.
