More about the book
The book explores how southern women utilized their racial superiority to assert new rights through writing, highlighting a complex interplay between gender and race. By denying education to enslaved individuals, these women not only claimed literacy as a privilege but also reinforced the oppressive systems of slavery, showcasing the troubling dynamics of power and privilege in the antebellum South.
