The family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, where she met and married Calvin Stowe, a professor of theology, in 1836.

She wrote the novel amidst the difficulties of bringing up a large family of six children. The runaway success of Uncle Tom’s Cabin made its author a well-known public figure. Stowe died in 1896.
