Enslaved Women at Monticello

Bound within a system that denied their freedom and autonomy both as African Americans and as women, enslaved women at Monticello—and indeed, throughout the country—faced unique trauma and challenges.

Please join us as we launch our Women’s History Month livestreams with a conversation about enslaved women at Monticello on Thursday, March 11 at 1:00 p.m. EST. We will share stories about individual women enslaved at Monticello, and discuss how these resilient women lived within, and fought against a system that denied their humanity.
