Review: They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South is a powerful, eye-opening work that challenges long-held assumptions about slavery and gender in American history. Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers thoroughly dismantles the myth that white women were passive or marginal participants in the institution of slavery. Through meticulous research and extensive use of primary sources, including legal records, letters, and testimonies from formerly enslaved people—the book reveals that many white women were active, knowledgeable, and often brutal slave owners in their own right. What makes this book especially compelling is how it centers the voices and experiences of enslaved people to expose the economic, legal, and physical power white women wielded. Jones-Rogers shows that white women not only benefited from slavery but also enforced it, defended it, and used it to build wealth and social status. The writing is clear, authoritative, and accessible, making complex historical arguments understandable without oversimplifying them. This book is an essential read for anyone studying American history, slavery, race, or gender. It forces readers to confront uncomfortable truths and rethink narratives that have long softened or excused the role of white women in slavery. They Were Her Property is both academically rigorous and deeply impactful—a necessary contribution to honest historical understanding.
Review: This book is an addendum to a vast academic well of knowledge of the Southern slave system in place in the antebelum South. It also sheds light on what role the northern states played in the perpetuation of the slave system.
