First published in 1992, Subject to Others considers the
intersection between late seventeenth- to early nineteenth-century
British female writers and the colonial debate surrounding slavery
and abolition. Beginning with an overview that sets the discussion
in context, Moira Ferguson then chronicles writings by Anglo-Saxon
women and one African-Caribbean ex-slave woman, from between 1670
and 1834, on the abolition of the slave trade and the emancipation
of slaves. Through studying the writings of around thirty women in
total, Ferguson concludes that white British women, as a result of
their class position, religious affiliation and evolving
conceptions of sexual difference, constructed a colonial discourse
about Africans in general and slaves in particular. Crucially, the
feminist propensity to align with anti-slavery activism helped to
secure the political self-liberation of white British women. A
fascinating and detailed text, this volume will be of particular
interest to undergraduate students researching colonial British
female writers, early feminist discourse, and the anti-slavery
debate.
