- The research for Single, White Slaveholding Women spanned almost ten years, and involved extensive archival research in the US funded by multiple travel fellowships including from the University of North Carolina, Virginia Historical Society and RHS. Primarily focused on letters, diaries and court records, on over three hundred white, slaveholding women from across the south, the book engages with historiographies around identity, work, family, friendship, law and property rights. In so doing, it illuminates the gap between single women's perceived roles and their actual roles in the private and public sphere.
