The first reason I enjoyed this book was because I found the information interesting. I did not know who Harriet Beecher Stowe was until reading this book. She helped inspire people to change their viewpoints about slavery. I find the topic of slavery fascinating because my favorite subject is history. The second reason I liked this book was because of the illustrations of her life experiences. For example, there is a page in the book with pictures of some of the Beecher family and under their picture is a caption about their life. The message of this book is to tell the life story of Harriet Beecher Stowe and explain how she contributed to society by writing a book that fought against slavery. ( ) Did Harriet Beecher Stowe start the Civil War? Abraham Lincoln may have greeted her with a statement to that effect! In 1851, Harriet was horrified by slavery and set out to write a few episodes of a story detailing the cruelty of slavery. It ended up being 40 chapters and turned into the controversial novel UNCLE TOM'S CABIN. The book was not well received by the public because it shed such a spotlight on the horrors against humankind that slavery is. It was dangerous to even own the book in the South. This is an interesting illustrated biography from the extensive WHO IS...?/WHO WAS...? biography series with almost 100 names available. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
