" Women also assisted in washing before sale. New Orleans slave trader John Hatcher described the pro cess in 1843: “They [the slaves] generally come from the ship board dirty & before dressing them up anew they are put aside in a room where they can wash themselves. It is made the duty of a trusty woman to attend to them and in case any of them have their menses upon them not to let them wash but keep their dirty clothes on until they are well.” In this extraordinary account, which survived only due to the subsequent death of one of the  women Hatcher’s employer sold, a slave trader allowed a glimpse into the quotidian bodily policing and social reproduction of enslaved  women as commodities."
