In Personal Property, Margit Stange analyzes white slavery literature in relation to other key American writings of the time by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Edith Wharton, Jane Addams, and Kate Chopin. The anthropological theory of the exchange of women developed by nineteenthcentury anthropologists in whose view, as Thorstein Veblen put it, woman is the original private property informs white slavery depictions of racialized, enslaved female bodies. Similarly, Stange argues, this theory is reflected in literature, in journalism, and in the feminist and Progressivist reform rhetoric of the early twentieth century, when social relations were transformed by capitalist expansion. She explores Progressive Era nativist and antibusiness reactions, anxieties about the seductive pull of consumerism, the 'social housekeeping' movement, and women's struggle for identity and professional stature in the U.S. marketplace economy of the early twentieth century.
