Summary
To Joy My Freedom : Southern Black Women's Lives and Labors after the Civil War
After the American Civil War, southern black women, such as household labourers and washerwomen, constructed their own world of work, play, negotiation, resistance and community organization. This book traces their struggles as they resisted efforts to keep them economically depressed.
