Varon, The Washington Post'Herein lies the greatest innovation of Jones-Rogers's book--to show that the power white womenwielded over enslaved people, reflected in horrific violence, extended into the economic structuresof slavery. They engaged in brutal acts with the logic of the market in mind. Hers is the first book toisolate white women as economic actors in the slave system, and thus the first to dismantleanother long-standing myth about these women--that they simply stood by as men conducted thebusiness of slavery.'--Lynne Feeley, The Nation'The full role of white women in slavery has longbeen one of the 'slave trade's best-kept secrets.'

Baptist, author of The Half Has Never BeenTold: Slavery and the Making of American CapitalismÂ 'This is a deeply researched andpowerfully argued book that completely overturns romanticized notions of the plantationmistresses and resistant southern white women. Stephanie Jones-Rogers reveals how deeplycomplicit slaveholding white women were in upholding the everyday cruelties and barbarity ofracial 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 andthe terrible oscillation of domination and dependence that defined identities--as wives, as mothers,
