When reading about slave families I was reminded of the threat we read about before of relocation or sale. It makes it even clearer how white (Anglo) women had a very different experience in this time period than minority women. For all groups, I didn't realize how repressive American people and law were for the formation of families. Also, Ashley, I like your point about "women of color." I never thought about it that way before.--Amanda | When reading about slave families I was reminded of the threat we read about before of relocation or sale.

| + | I liked this article because of the author's use of the phrase "women of color." It was nice to see it used to reference more than African American women for once. This article really emphasized the racial differences in terms of women and society and it was rather eye-opening in that sense. In a historical sense we typically think of the racial divide of this time period as black vs. white, and tend to disregard the other racial minorities. -Kelly W. | ||
