Caetana Says No: Women's Stories from a Brazilian Slave Society
Not a good book really. I tried really hard to read it line-by-line, but I found myself skipping parts. It's certainly interest at points and I feel I have somewhat of an understanding about women in slave society, but it didn't read well. It was slow and had a lot of legal terms and such that were simply boring. I more preferred the second story of the elderly woman who freed slaves in her will, but that was because it went by faster and was better written. I think these could have been published as detailed essays or articles rather than a book.
