Both Morgan and Davis portray the concept of Labor and enslaved women similarly in both their writings. Labor was only to be done by slaves including field work and house work. In Davis’ work she tells how women were degraded to the point where there were no difference in gender between the men and women. Both were used for the same work and seen as equals since the women were said to have muscular bodies. The purpose of the women was to tend to the field and the slave owners, same as the men. Davis mentions that the women would only become wives, mothers,and homemakers by accident. They were used solely for work or as breeder in which their children were either sold or used in order to make a bigger profit. The black women’s body was not seen as feminine by the europeans making them “useful” for various types of labor compared to men. Slaveowners actually preferred women over men or even animals because they were used as breeders to increase slave labor and they were able to work in the field, cook, sew, and more. In Morgans book the same idea that black women are not feminine and better used as workers because of their muscular traits is shown. The women were seen as productive and reproductive getting many uses out of one slave. Morgan explains how the women’s breast would hang so low when they would reach down to do their field work it looked as if they had multiple legs. She further explains that this showed the only things that the slave women were good for, which was bearing children and working in the fields. The women were much preferred over the men that they made up fifty percent of the slave workers as Davis informs us. The way the white men saw the black women’s bodies were the reason the women were subjected to this type of treatment. They were unattractive and unfeminine putting them in the same category as male workers.
