Looking at the work of such writers as Harriet Wilson, Frances E.
W. Harper, Pauline Hopkins, Toni Morrison, Sherley Anne Williams,
and Gayl Jones, Patton (English and African-American studies, U. of
Nebraska-Lincoln) finds that they repeatedly link slavery with
motherhood. She shows that the image of black women by others and
themselves is framed and influenced by a portrayal of women slaves
as mere breeders and not mothers. These writers, she says, counter
the image with that of the mother.
