Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896) was born in Litchfield, Connecticut, into a prominent family of ministers and reformers, and lived for eighteen years in Cincinnati, across the river from slave-holding Kentucky. Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) made her the most famous woman writer of her time; she published some thirty further books, including Dred (1856), The Minister’s Wooing (1859) and Oldtown Folks (1869).
