She is probably the author that I was most familiar with in this particular section, her book Uncle Tom's Cabin is controversial among some but in my personal opinion she felt like she was standing up for what was important to her. For a white woman in that time to stand up against slavery is amazing, to be a strong woman today is fantastic, but to be a strong woman in the era that she and Fanny Fern were alive in is extraordinary, I often wonder what drove these woman, what motivation did they have to stand out in a time that it wasn't that acceptable for them to.
