Masterful Women: Slaveholding Widows from the American Revolution through the Civil War - Gender and American Culture
Kirsten E. Wood
Many early-nineteenth-century slaveholders considered themselves ""masters"" not only over slaves, but also over the institutions of marriage and family. According to historians, the privilege of mastery was reserved for white males. But slaveholding widows enjoyed material, legal, and cultural resources to which most southerners could only aspire.
