Southern Womanhood and Slavery was Professor Fought's first book, published in 2003, and will be issued in paperback this September.
Fough has since been the editor of the first volume of Frederick Douglass' correspondence, and the author of Mystic, Connecticut: From Pequot Village to Tourist Town and the award-winning Women in the World of Frederick Douglass.
