Wonder Of Women - To Make A Long Story Short

Let’s be clear. We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. In the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.But whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.The women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. 1 - Women of Wonder - To Make A Long Story Short - An Introduction2 - Desiree's Baby by Kate Chopin3 - The Story of Sir Bertrand by Anna Laetitia Barbauld4 - All Souls Eve by Dora Sigerson Shorter5 - After the Funeral by Mary Butts6 - Conversation on Conversation by Harriet Beecher Stowe7 - The Preacher at Hill Station by Katherine Davis Chapman Tillman8 - The Palace of Death by Emily Bronte9 - The Lie by Holloway Horn10 - The Readjustment by Mary Austin11 - Suggestion by Mrs Ernest Leverson12 - A Pen and Ink Effect by Frances E Huntley13 - The Wooing of Pastor Cummings by Georgia F Stewart14 - My Flirtations by Ella Hepworth Dixon writing as Margaret Wynham15 - The Three Kisses by Violet Quirk16 - A Redeeming Sacrifice by Lucy Maud Montgomery17 - Many Waters Cannot Quench Love by Louisa Baldwin18 - Aunt Hetty on Matrimony by Fanny Fern, the writing pseudonym for Sarah Payton Parton19 - Aunt Lindy.

La Cabaña del Tío Tom

'La Cabaña del Tío Tom' es una novela escrita por Harriet Beecher Stowe en 1852 que fue una influencia importante en la opinión pública sobre la esclavitud y contribuyó a la tensión que llevó a la Guerra Civil Americana. El presidente Abraham Lincoln, que asumió el cargo en 1861, era un oponente de la esclavitud y un abogado de la libertad y la igualdad para todos. Se dice que cuando Abraham Lincoln conoció a Harriet Beecher Stowe, autora de 'La Cabaña del Tío Tom', en una recepción en la Casa Blanca, la llamó 'la pequeña mujer que escribió un libro que hizo esto' y levantó su brazo hacia la Guerra Civil. Esto sugiere que la novela influyó en su pensamiento y acciones en relación con la esclavitud. 'La Cabaña del Tío Tom' de Harriet Beecher Stowe es una novela que se centra en la vida de los esclavos en las plantaciones de algodón del sur de Estados Unidos durante la época previa a la Guerra Civil. La novela muestra la crueldad y la opresión a la que los esclavos africanos eran sometidos en estas plantaciones y cómo esta explotación cruel afectaba a las familias y las comunidades de esclavos. Stowe utiliza la historia de Tío Tom, un esclavo leal y religioso, para mostrar la realidad de la vida en las plantaciones de algodón y el efecto que esta vida tenía en los esclavos. La novela describe la brutalidad y la inhumana explotación que se llevaba a cabo en estas plantaciones, incluyendo el comercio de esclavos, las separaciones familiares y las condiciones de trabajo insalubres y peligrosas. A pesar de los desafíos, 'La Cabaña del Tío Tom' muestra una fuerza de carácter y una determinación inquebrantable en su lucha por la libertad y la justicia. La novela es un llamado a la acción y una crítica a la injusticia racial y a la opresión de la esclavitud. Narrado en Español Latino Neutro.

Onkel Toms Hütte - neu erzählt

Mit ihrem Roman über den afroamerikanischen Leibeigenen Onkel Tom wandte sich Harriet Beecher Stowe Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts gezielt gegen die Sklavenhalter in den Südstaaten. 'Onkel Toms Hütte' erschien zunächst von Juni 1851 bis April 1852 in vierzig Kapiteln in 'The National Era', einer meinungsstarken Zeitschrift der Abolitionisten. Die eindrucksvolle Darstellung der Leiden der Unterdrückten, die auf den Memoiren des mithilfe der Underground Railroad nach Kanada geflüchteten ehemaligen Sklaven Josiah Henson beruhten, verschaffte dem Text nicht nur ein breites Publikum, der Roman wurde auch zu einer Streitschrift im Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg. Er provozierte etwa zwei Dutzend 'Anti-Onkel-Tom-Romane'. Abraham Lincoln soll anlässlich eines Treffens 1862 gesagt haben: 'Sie sind also die kleine Frau, deren Buch diesen großen Krieg verursacht hat.'

Uncle Tom's Cabin: The Icon Black Lives Matter Series

Uncle Tom's Cabin is an antislavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in two volumes in 1852, the novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the U.S., and is said to have 'helped lay the groundwork for the [American] Civil War'. Stowe, a Connecticutborn woman of English descent, was part of the religious Beecher family and an active abolitionist. She wrote the sentimental novel to depict the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love could overcome slavery. The novel focuses on the character of Uncle Tom, a longsuffering black slave around whom the stories of the other characters revolve. Uncle Tom's Cabin was the bestselling novel and the second bestselling book of the 19th century, following the Bible, and is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. The impact attributed to the book was so great that a likely apocryphal story arose of Abraham Lincoln meeting Stowe at the start of the Civil War and declaring, 'So this is the little lady who started this great war.' The book and the plays it inspired helped popularize a number of negative stereotypes about black people including that of the namesake character 'Uncle Tom', with the term now used to describe an excessively subservient person. These associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have, to an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a 'vital antislavery tool'. However, the novel stands as a 'landmark' in protest literature with later books such as The Jungle by Upton Sinclair and Silent Spring by Rachel Carson owing a large debt to it A oneofakind audio encounter for lovers of history, literature, spiritual texts, and inspirational writing.

Uncle Tom's Cabin

Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the U.S. and is said to have 'helped lay the groundwork for the Civil War'. Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Seminary and an active abolitionist, featured the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering black slave around whom the stories of other characters revolve. The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings. Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible. It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States; one million copies in Great Britain. In 1855, three years after it was published, it was called 'the most popular novel of our day.' The impact attributed to the book is great, reinforced by a story that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the Civil War, Lincoln declared, 'So this is the little lady who started this great war.' The quote is apocryphal; it did not appear in print until 1896, and it has been argued that 'The long-term durability of Lincoln's greeting as an anecdote in literary studies and Stowe scholarship can perhaps be explained in part by the desire among many contemporary intellectuals ... to affirm the role of literature as an agent of social change.' The book and the plays it inspired helped popularize a number of stereotypes about black people. These include the affectionate, dark-skinned mammy; the pickaninny stereotype of black children; and the Uncle Tom, or dutiful, long-suffering servant faithful to his white master or mistress. In recent years, the negative associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have, to an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a vital antislavery tool.
