Harriet Beecher Stowe: The Woman Behind "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
Harriet Beecher Stowe is a name synonymous with American literature and social change. Born on June 14, 1811, in Litchfield, Connecticut, Stowe became one of the most influential figures of the 19th century. She is best known for her anti-slavery novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which played a pivotal role in changing America's perspective on slavery. However, her literary journey and impact go far beyond this seminal work, and her involvement in the Semicolon Club is a fascinating aspect of her life

Today’s birthday boy is William Makepeace Thackeray, born in Kolkata, India, author of social satires such as Vanity Fair, Pendennis, & many more.
“Good humour may be said to be one of the very best articles of dress one can wear in society.”
(W.M.Thackeray, Sketches and Travels in London; Mr. Brown's Letters to his Nephew: "On Tailoring — And Toilettes in General", 1856)
Happy Birthday, Thackeray!
