Thanks
for your note, however, I'm
not entirely sure that I understand
your question. I assume that
you are asking about feminism's
relationship to slavery--meaning
how were feminists impacted
by slavery and/or how did feminists
impact slavery. If that is correct,
I can recommend a few books:
1.) bell hook's Ain't I A
Woman--among other things
hooks talks about how white
women in many ways were the
direct oppressors of black women
in slave times and how this
played out in women's lives--and
continuing today.
2.) Mothers of Invention:
Women of the Slaveholding South
in the American Civil War
by Drew Gilpin Faust, which
touches on a similiar subject.
3.) Any books about Harriet
Tubman and Sojourner Truth are
likely to touch upon these same
subjects as both were abolitionists
and feminists.
I hope that helps. Good luck.
