"I wrote what I did because as a woman, as a mother, I was oppressed and broken-hearted with the sorrows and injustice I saw, because as a Christian I felt the dishonor to Christianity -- because as a lover of my country, I trembled at the coming day of wrath."
-- Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1853, in a letter to Lord Thomas Denman of London, England |
