John H. Dunning Prize in United States History
“Kathleen Brown’s magnificent book places gender at the center of early Virginia history for the first time. Her interpretations of difficult texts, whether about Bacon’s Rebellion or tax laws, are always persuasive.”
--Alan Kulikoff
“In the early days of women’s history, its practitioners promised that the study of women would one day change the way we look at history itself. Arguing that gender and sexuality were central to the development of both slavery and the eighteenth century’s plantation elite, Kathleen Brown makes good on that promise.”
