I thinks 'bout Massa buyin' me off de block and savin' me from bein' separated from my folks, and 'bout bein' whipped at de stake. Dere it am. What am I to do?\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo asks Rose Williams of Bell County, Texas, whose long-ago forced cohabitation remains as bitter at age 90 as when she was \"just a ingnoramus chile\" of 16. In all her years after freedom, she never had any desire to marry. Firsthand accounts of female slaves are few. The best-known narratives of slavery are those of Frederick Douglass and other men. Even the photos most people have seen are of male slaves chained and beaten. What we know of the lives of female slaves comes mainly from the fiction of authors like Toni Morrison and movies like \u003ci\u003eGone With the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cem\u003eFar More Terrible for Women\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to broaden the discussion by presenting 27 narratives of female ex-slaves. Editor Patrick Minges combed the WPA interviews of the 1930s for those of women, selecting a range of stories that give a taste of the unique challenges, complexities, and cruelties that were the lot of females under the \"peculiar institution.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePatrick Minges worked for 17 years for Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
