Household Papers and Stories

By: Stowe, Harriet Beecher

Mrs. Stowe had early and very practical ac-quaintance with the art of housekeeping. It strikes one at first as a little incongruous that an author who devoted her great powers to stirring the con-science of a nation should from time to time, and at one period especially, give her mind to the or-dering of family life, but a moment‟s considera-tion will show that the same woman was earnest-ly at the bottom of each effort. In a letter to the late Lord Denman, written in 1853, Mrs. Stowe, speaking of Uncle Tom's Cabin, said: "I wrote what I did because, as a woman, as a mother, I was op-pressed and heartbroken with the sorrows and in-justice which I saw, and because, as a Christian, I felt the dishonor to Christianity."
