The Essence of Liberty: Free Black Women During the Slave Era
Wilma King
Blends social, political, and economic history to analyze black women's experience in both the North and the South, from the colonial period through emancipation. This book shows that, even in the face of economic deprivation and draconian legislation, many free black women were able to maintain some form of autonomy and lead meaningful lives.
