The Stacks Book Club - March 2025
They Were Her Property by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers
The Stacks Book Club selection for March is They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers. This award-winning work of history challenges the long-held myth that white women were merely bystanders in American slavery, revealing their active and profitable role in the system and reshaping our understanding of power and complicity in the slave economy. Backed by extensive research and firsthand accounts, They Were Her Property is an eye-opening read that offers plenty to discuss and unpack.
