John P. Jewett, wife of Boston publisher. Uncle Tom's Cabin was published first as a two-volume set and then as a single volume, priced at thirty-seven cents. Before the Civil War, sales reached three million and nearly doubled by 1972. By speaking publicly against slavery, Harriet was taking a risk. So it received a lot of criticism, most of it positive. Stowe became very popular in England. So she sailed to Liverpool with her husband and toured England. A large crowd followed her and to her amazement the men took off their hats and bowed to her. After the success of Uncle Tom's Cabin she responded to objectors with The Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin and returned to the theme of the fight against slavery with Dred. Between the years 1862 and 1884 he produced at least one book a year to support his large family. Stowe not only supported the rights of slaves but also the rights of women. He did so in the late 1860s in a series of articles published in the Atlantic Monthly. Additionally, he wrote more on this topic in Hearth and Home. She argued that “taxation without representation is tyranny” and stressed that since women are taxed, they deserve the right to elect their own representatives.
