This article needs to be moved. First, per Wikipedia:Article_titles#Article_title_format, women and colonial should not be capitalized. Second, I wonder if we can shorten "Colonial North America and the U.S.". Perhaps enslaved women in North America up to 1863? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:44, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
This page is the subject of my wikipedia project assignment for a class I am taking, and I plan to make major revisions to it over the next couple of months. I plan to add an additional six sections to include general, factual information about aspects of society in colonial times and enslaved women’s role in it, as well as information about their daily lives and activities. The titles of these sections include Women's work, Childbearing, Slave sex ratios, Gender paradigms in the New World, Violence against enslaved women, and Enslaved women in resistance. The article is almost completely examples at this point, and I planning on creating a separate ‘Examples’ section where I will move much of the existing information as well as add and expand on two additional examples of women in slavery in different regions, specifically Brazil and Jamaica. I am also planning to expand the ‘Notable enslaved African American women’ section, and that I would appreciate input on any new ‘notable women’ I should add to the list!
With all of these revisions I also have an idea for renaming the article to 'Enslaved Women in the Colonial Americas.' I would appreciate any feedback on this idea or alternative suggestions!

This article was vandalized more than a year ago, but this vandalism has not yet been corrected. Should we peer-review this article so that this vandalism can be prevented? Jarble ( talk) 20:52, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
Why does Wikipedia refer to African-Americans as slaves generally? African-Americans were free Africans who had limited rights in America. Slaves weren't Americans.
Slaves were the property of Americans. Free Africans in America were citizens. Enslaved Africans were not. Remember the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. See the "Free Negro" page on Wikipedia (it has its problems as well). But, the Free Negroes are the only African-Americans that would be referenced in this page.

Wikipedia refer to African-Americans as slaves generally? Is there somewhere in this article where African-Americans are referred to generally as slaves (i.e., being African-American before the Civil War = slave)?– CaroleHenson ( talk) 02:58, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
If women stopped being property, why are American women devoting hours a day, and a lot of their money to matching an unrealistic fantasy in men's minds? Body hair removal. Shapewear. Cosmetic surgery. Makeup. High heeled shoes. Why do even other women reinforce the customs for men's sake? And, why is there a lack of female alphas who say no to those practices without repercussions? And, why are women but sex objects in American society, whom have no authority, no respect, and no freedom? Why are our nipples sexualized when they are solely evolved to breastfeed? (Claims of otherwise are sexist, pedophilic myths.) Alphas do what they want, and don't do what they don't want. An alpha female would not shave. An alpha female would keep her hair how SHE likes it. An alpha female would dress how SHE wants. An alpha female would LIKE her natural body instead of trying to change it against nature for the sake of unrealistic beauty standards from men. America still practices slavery. The women are enslaved.-- 184.101.218.207 ( talk) 08:10, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I'm planning to either edit this article or make a new article that focuses on enslaved women resistance, specifically focusing on abortion/infanticide. I would like the new article to include other aspect on how women attempted to resist slavery by taking control back over the bodies, which I feel this article doesn't currently address. I think this article only has one sentence on infanticide, and I think the issue is deserving of more than one sentence. Check my user page for more info on planned revisions/new article and resources. Mgregg21 ( talk) 05:52, 12 September 2019 (UTC) 05:52, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Calidum 19:26, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
Female slavery in the United States →
Enslaved women in the US – Article was moved to Enslaved women in the US but has since been reverted back to Female slavery in the US. The request is to maintain the title as Enslaved women in the US because it restores identity and context to the individuals who were enslaved. The terms enslaved shows that the individuals were forcibly reduced to the positions of enslavement; the linguistic nature of enslaved portrays individuals as people who were acted upon, not as objects. The term slavery and slave reduce individuals the commodity they were considered and removes their humanity and identity as people from the enslaved individuals.
