Bridging women's history, the history of the South, and African American history, this book makes a bold argument about the role of white women in American slavery. Historian Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers draws on a variety of sources to show that slave-owning women were sophisticated economic actors who directly engaged in and benefited from the South's slave market. Because women typically inherited more slaves than land, enslaved people were often their primary source of wealth. Not only did white women often refuse to cede ownership of their slaves to their husbands, they employed management techniques that were as effective and brutal as those used by slave-owning men. White women actively participated in the slave market, profited from it, and used it for economic and social empowerment. By examining the economically entangled lives of enslaved people and slave-owning women, Jones-Rogers presents a narrative that forces us to rethink the economics and social conventions of slaveholding America. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Slaveholders $z Southern States $x History. 650 0 $a Slavery $z Southern States $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Social conditions. 700 1 $a Johnson, Allyson. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12306136 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ttm_9781977352729_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190905012036.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3DBB6E1A868F11E988B41FF596128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
