Just a really incredible exploration of enslaved women and their relationship to white women enslavers; Glymph just bulldozes the hell out of all historiography that tries to claim white women enslavers were somehow more sympathetic or not as deeply entwined in slavery, and also manages to explore this deeply fascinating moment where slavery is falling away and waged labor is beginning to take its place, and what that means for each of the actors involved--how Black women were actually more capable than white women at negotiating wages, etc., because they had a sense of what work looked like per day than white women did. Just super fascinating, really accessible, and didn't feel repetitive. Strongly, strongly recommend.
