Description
A bold and searing investigation into the role of white women in the American slave economy.
Bridging women's history, the history of the South, and African-American history, this audiobook 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.

Brilliant!
Well-researched and engaging, this book puts to rest the erroneous notion that white women were somehow unfortunate observers to the brutal establishment of the white supremacy system in America. Spoiler alert: "Throughout it all they were not passive bystanders, they were co-conspirators"

Recommend but heavy listen at times
I really enjoyed this book and learned more on American History and Slavery. Being Canadian, not a topic we learned much on in history classes.
it was a heavy listen though as most slavery content is, so I broke it down, but have told a lot of my friends about this book or bits and pieces I’ve learned along the way.

Excellent book, thorough research
Extremely well written, many documented examples of how white women were active in and invested economically in the institution of slavery and how those interests were impacted with emancipation of African-American people.

Eye-opening accounts of white complicity by women in the slavery movement
This book should be required reading to better understand the biased lens many southern white women have been raised to accept. Further propagating unnecessary exploitative discrimination of black people in North America.
