    The women are most laborious: the role of female slaves on the Gold Coast in the age of abolition, 1833 – 1874
    Gorman, Julia ( 2016-05-17)
    The British idea of slavery, and by extension emancipation, was irrelevant to the realities of slaves on the Gold Coast of West Africa between 1833 - 1874. Slavery was the foundation of social structure and women made up a large proportion of these. A study of female slaves sheds light on the fundamental role slaves played in the structures of Gold Coast society and parallels can be drawn between slavery and issues women still face today.
