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

informative medium-paced

4.0

This is such an impressive work of academic research and history. It is easy to read in the sense that the author breaks things down clearly and gives tons of examples. It is a slower read bc of the need to cite and prove points to an academic standard, which can be a little more challenging for a lay reader. I appreciated the arguments crafted and the sheer depth of the research. A real feat.
