cquilt-35963	Xia, Collin	The womb: a site of domination and resistance in the Pre-emancipation British Caribbean	2022	7	.pdf	application/pdf	2995	114	39	Rhonda Reddock further argues that the contempt for marriage among slave women was because “it meant extra work and being confined to one man” when both men and women often maintained multiple relation- ships. From that point on, Anglo-Caribbean plantocra- cies demonstrated significant interest in enslaved women’s reproductive labour to manage slave demographics but enslaved women often defied their masters to exert control over their reproductive capacities in “gynecological revolt” This essay examines sources centred on Jamaica to argue that the wombs of enslaved women in the Anglo-Caribbean colonies were sites of colonial domination as slaveowners, abolitionists, and the imperial government fought to control it but were also sites of “gynecological revolt” as women exerted control over their sexuality, pregnancy, childbirth experience, and child-rearing process.	cache/cquilt-35963.pdf	txt/cquilt-35963.txt
