Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel, `Uncle Tom’s Cabin` represents a social-protest novel, where the author’s composition was specifically aimed at representing the barbarism of slavery and in portraying black people as human beings, with families, Christian faith and emotional relationships. While by today’s standards, these appear as racist presumptions, Stowe was writing at a time when white people did not regard black people as human beings, but as property. This essay considers the ways racism and feminism are parts of Stowe’s writing in her appeal to white Christian women to stand up against racism.
