They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers

4.0

Probably could have been an article. I think it's really important to highlight that white women were not bystanders to the violence of slavery but rather active participants. However, there were a lot of points where Jones-Rogers used "slaveowning women" when honestly it just seemed like what all slaveowners did. Again, not refuting that centering the violence of white women is important, but questioning how much of the evidence in this book really represented anything unique to the ways that white women interacted with slavery differently than white men.
