Join the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House for our January Guest Lecture Series presentation, “Mistress of the Market: White Women and the Nineteenth-Century Domestic Slave Trade,” by Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers. Jones-Rogers is an Associate Professor of History. She specializes in African-American history, the history of slavery, and women’s and gender history. She is the author of They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South (2019), which won prizes from the Lapidus Center for the Historical Analysis of Transatlantic Slavery, the Southern Association for Women’s Historians, the Southern Historical Association, the Society for Historians of the Early American Republic, and the Organization of American Historians. Jones-Rogers was also the first African-American and the third woman to win the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in History since the award’s inception in 1980. And in 2023, she received the Dan David Prize, the largest history prize in the world. She is currently at work on her second book, “Women of the Trade,” which reorients our understanding of the British Atlantic slave trade by centering the lives and experiences of English, African, and Afro-English women in its telling.
