520    "Bridging women's history, the history of the South, and 
       African American history, this book makes a bold argument 
       about the role of white women in American slavery. 
       Historian Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers draws on a variety of 
       sources to show that slave-owning women were sophisticated
       economic actors who directly engaged in and benefited from
       the South's slave market. Because women typically 
       inherited more slaves than land, enslaved people were 
       often their primary source of wealth. Not only did white 
       women often refuse to cede ownership of their slaves to 
       their husbands, they employed management techniques that 
       were as effective and brutal as those used by slave-owning
       men. White women actively participated in the slave market,
       profited from it, and used it for economic and social 
       empowerment. By examining the economically entangled lives
       of enslaved people and slave-owning women, Jones-Rogers 
       presents a narrative that forces us to rethink the 
       economics and social conventions of slaveholding America"-
