This brief paper examines "Uncle Tom's Cabin," Stowe's anti-slavery work. The author discusses how Stowe also criticized male society, both free and slave, by portraying the women in her book as more enlightened than men (both white and black).
From the Paper:
"Harriet Beecher Stowe in her book Uncle Tom's Cabin utilizes matriarchal characterization to offset the cruelty of the patriarchal governed society, expressly the issue of slavery. "The role of mother represents not just a domestic maternal figure confined to family, but also a universal figure that is led by Christian beliefs with compassion and empathy towards all who are suffering."
