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

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.25

I think this book is well researched. I can clearly tell the author looked at all types of sources to ensure her point is valid. The author gives plenty of examples of white women actively participating in slave ownership and trafficking. She makes it clear, white women were not passive bystanders in the institution of slavery. My only critique is it can be a little repetitive. However, I would recommend this book because it highlights a different aspect of that time that seems to be downplayed a lot.
