International AAHGS Book Award, Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (AAHGS), 2019.

"Gendered Resistance offers valuable insight to the intersectionality of race, gender, and socioeconomic class by challenging cultural and historical interpretations of enslaved women's resistance. Moreover, it traces important continuities in gender based violence and race from the past to the present."--Civil War Book Review "Gendered Resistance is appealing for its boldness in ignoring disciplinary boundaries and time constraints to present a new framework for considering gendered resistance."--The Journal of African American History
"This excellent collection situates and contemporizes the history and legacy of Margaret Garner and the history of enslavement of women. Full of useful perspectives and critical analysis, this interdisciplinary volume of essays is perfect for students of American history, literature, gender, race, and cultural studies."--Kate Clifford Larson, author of Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman: Portrait of an American Hero
