Gender and Resistance in Slave Narratives

This study guide covers resistance to sexual violence by enslaved women (including methods like physical resistance, use of plants, infanticide, escape, and hiding), gender in slave narratives (themes, genre impact, and gender norms in narratives by men and women), and the impact of women's narratives on political movements (abolitionist and feminist). It includes a deep dive into required sources like The History of Mary Prince and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, focusing on key details and excerpts. Finally, it provides exam preparation guidance with practice questions (multiple-choice, short answer, and free response) covering high-value topics, common question types, time management strategies, and common pitfalls.
