An Intimate Economy: Enslaved Women, Work, and America's Domestic Slave Trade
Alexandra J. Finley
Places women's labour at the centre of the antebellum slave trade, focusing particularly on slave traders' ability to profit from enslaved women's domestic, reproductive, and sexual labour. Alexandra Finley shows how women's work was necessary to the functioning of the slave trade, and thus to the spread of slavery to the Lower South.
