Who is the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin?

Nathaniel Hawthorne Harriet Beecher Stowe Mark Twain Virginia Woolf

Correct Answer:

Harriet Beecher Stowe

Explanation:

Harriet Beecher Stowe is the author. Uncle Tom's Cabin, published in 1852, is a landmark anti-slavery novel written by her, and its vivid portrayal of enslaved people’ lives helped galvanize the abolitionist movement in the United States. The author became closely associated with this work and its impact on American history. Other well-known authors wrote different works—Nathaniel Hawthorne authored The Scarlet Letter, Mark Twain wrote Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, and Virginia Woolf wrote novels like Mrs. Dalloway—so they are not the creators of this particular book.
