About The Book

      Marli Weiner challenges much of the received wisdom on the domestic realm

        of the nineteenth-century southern plantation — a world in which white

        mistresses and female slaves labored together to provide food, clothing,

        and medicines to the larger plantation community. Although divided by

        race, black and white women were joined by common female experiences and

        expectations of behavior. Because work and gender affected them as much

        as race, mistresses and female slaves interacted with one another very

        differently from the ways they interacted with men.

      Supported by the women’s own words, Weiner offers fresh interpretations

        of the ideology of domesticity that influenced women’s race relations

        before the Civil War, the gradual manner in which they changed during

        the war, and the harsher behaviors that resulted during Reconstruction.

      A volume in the series Women in American History, edited by Anne Firor

        Scott, Nancy A. Hewitt, and Stephanie Shaw
