Description
'Jones-Rogers brings an unseen world to life' --Parul Sehgal, International New York Times
'Jones-Rogers has provided a brilliant, innovative analysis of American slavery, one that sets a
new standard for scholarship on the subject.'--Elizabeth R. Varon, The Washington Post
'Herein lies the greatest innovation of Jones-Rogers's book--to show that the power white women
wielded over enslaved people, reflected in horrific violence, extended into the economic structures
of slavery. They engaged in brutal acts with the logic of the market in mind. Hers is the first book to
isolate white women as economic actors in the slave system, and thus the first to dismantle
another long-standing myth about these women--that they simply stood by as men conducted the
business of slavery.'--Lynne Feeley, The Nation'The full role of white women in slavery has long
been one of the 'slave trade's best-kept secrets.' They Were Her Property, a taut and cogent
corrective...examines how historians have misunderstood and misrepresented white women as
reluctant actors...They Were Her Property draws on the customary sources--letters and other
documents from slave-owning families and the like--but radically centers the testimonies of
formerly enslaved people in interviews conducted by the Federal Writers' Project, part of the
Works Progress Administration. From these stories, Jones-Rogers brings an unseen world to
life...Jones-Rogers is a crisp and focused writer. She trains her gaze on the history and rarely
considers slavery's reverberations. They are felt on every page, however. It is impossible to read
her on 'maternal violence'--the abuse of black mothers and babies during slavery--without thinking
of black maternal mortality rates today. This scrupulous history makes a vital contribution to our
understanding of our past and present.'--Parul Sehgal, The New York TimesÂ
'Compelling...Jones-Rogers captures the echoes of what happens when America's greatest
atrocity -- and who participated in it -- is deliberately misunderstood and unchallenged.'--Renee
Graham, Boston Globe 'Stunning.'--Rebecca Onion, Slate'One of the most significant books
on the history of women and slavery.'--Edward E. Baptist, author of The Half Has Never Been
Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism 'This is a deeply researched and
powerfully argued book that completely overturns romanticized notions of the plantation
mistresses and resistant southern white women. Stephanie Jones-Rogers reveals how deeply
complicit slaveholding white women were in upholding the everyday cruelties and barbarity of
racial slavery.'--Manisha Sinha, author of The Slave's Cause: A History of Abolition
'They Were Her Property casts brilliant, unsparing light on the history of slaveholding women and
the terrible oscillation of domination and dependence that defined identities--as wives, as mothers,

as mistres
