Heiresses: Marriage Inheritance and Caribbean Slavery

Miranda Kaufmann in conversation with Lisa Williams

Miranda Kaufmann, author of the ground-breaking Black Tudors, explores how, for almost two centuries, slave-produced wealth poured into Britain through inheritance and matrimony. Following the lives of nine heiresses, whose fortunes were made in the sugar plantations of the Caribbean, HEIRESSES reveals the often scandalous lives of the women who helped build Britain’s empire.
