They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South

In They Were Her Property, Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers presents a historical account centered on white Women as Slave Owners in the American South. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of history and social science. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
