Summary of Angela Y. Davis's Women, Race, & Class

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The debate about slavery has continued to resurface throughout the decades, and historians have continued to argue about what it actually meant to be a slave. The most recent books have failed to address the experiences of Black women during slavery.

#2 The typical female slave was a houseservant, but in reality, the majority of slave women were field workers. The oppression of women was identical to the oppression of men.

#3 While the slave system treated women as second class citizens, it also made sure to exploit their reproductive capabilities. Because slave women were not mothers, their children could be sold away from them.

#4 The slaveowner would calculate the yield of his slaves in terms of the average rates of productivity he demanded. Women were generally rated as full hands, unless they had been assigned to be breeders or sucklers.
