Episode 9: "The Unsung Labor: Enslaved Women"

The Unsung Labor: Enslaved Women "History is often written by the victors, but the wilderness was built by the silenced." In this poignant ninth episode of Matriarchs of the Wilderness, we shift our focus to the shadows of New France to uncover the lives of enslaved women. While often left out of traditional colonial narratives, these women—both of African and Indigenous (Panis) descent—were foundational to the survival and economic success of the early Quebec settlements. We move beyond the statistics to explore their daily realities: the grueling physical labor, the complexities of navigating French colonial law, and the quiet ways they maintained their dignity and culture in a world that sought to strip them of both. What You’ll Discover: The Invisible Economy: How the domestic and agricultural labor of enslaved women sustained the homes of the elite in Montreal and Quebec City. Code Noir & Colonial Law: A look at the legal frameworks that governed their lives and the rare instances where they sought justice. Resilience in the Wilderness: Stories of survival and the subtle ways these matriarchs resisted their circumstances to forge a legacy. Intersectionality of the 1600s: Understanding the different experiences of enslaved Indigenous women and women of the African diaspora in the Saint Lawrence Valley.
