## Description

desertcart.com: Good Wives, Nasty Wenches, and Anxious Patriarchs: Gender, Race, and Power in Colonial Virginia (Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early ... and the University of North Carolina Press): Brown, Kathleen M.: Books

Review: Colonial History at its Best - This was one of the text books assigned to my senior level Colonial America class. I enjoyed reading this text and discussing it in class every week. The amount of information that it covered was amazing and gave a very clear picture of how women lived during a very important time in US history.
Review: All about woman - This book is very important for men to read, because these so not trust no one if you can not trust your wife who can you trust then.

*by J***O on September 30, 2013*

This was one of the text books assigned to my senior level Colonial America class. I enjoyed reading this text and discussing it in class every week. The amount of information that it covered was amazing and gave a very clear picture of how women lived during a very important time in US history.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All about woman
*by H***D on May 7, 2014*

This book is very important for men to read, because these so not trust no one if you can not trust your wife who can you trust then.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting and thought provoking
*by O***L on December 4, 2015*

Very interesting view of Colonial Virginia's hierarchy with detailed research to support the thesis of female rights and their societal position relative to men and slaves. Well written. Recommend to anyone interested in early American history, daily life in colonial Virginia and the legacy of slavery in the US.
