Enterprising Women

Gender, Race, and Power in the Revolutionary Atlantic
Langbeschreibung
As the microbiographies in this book reveal, free women of colour in Britain's Caribbean colonies were not merely the dependent concubines of the white male elite, as is commonly assumed. These highly entrepreneurial women exercised remarkable mobility and developed extensive commercial and kinship connections in the metropolitan heart of empire while raising well-educated children who were able to penetrate deep into British life.
