Presented by Dr. Candice Lyons (University of California, Santa Barbara ). This project focuses on

two key concerns: one, how enslaved (and formerly enslaved) women conceived of and performed their

own genders and two, how enslaved and formerly enslaved women structured their relationships to other

women.

Sponsored by the Institute for Women's Studies and the Department of History.
