Description
About the Book
"This book examines the phenomenon of the lynching of women, which was a much more rare experience than the lynching of men. Of importance in this examination is the role of race in lynching, particularly the increase in the number of black lynchings as the century progressed. Details are provided for the lynchings"--Provided by publisher.Book Synopsis
Between 1850 and 1950, at least 115 women were lynched by mobs in the United States. The majority of these women were black. This book examines the phenomenon of the lynching of women, a much more rare occurence than the lynching of men. Over the same hundred year period covered in this text, more than 1,000 white men were lynched, while thousands of black men were murdered by mobs. Of particular importance in this examination is the role of race in lynching, particularly the increase in the number of lynchings of black women as the century progressed. Details are provided--when available--in an attempt to shine a light on this form of deadly mob violence.
