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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 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. 941 $a 14 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201021747.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20220402011654.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20210402013319.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210304013613.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20201009010509.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20200228010041.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210023135.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20191022011101.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190904010910.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190726010353.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20190614010355.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20190507011025.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20190427010739.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190417010148.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3457B102550D11E9884C074097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
