"A Woman Rice Planter" by Elizabeth W. Allston Pringle is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the experiences of Patience Pennington, a woman who embarks on the challenging journey of managing a rice plantation in South Carolina after taking over her family's estate.

start of the book, the protagonist reflects on her decision to invest her life savings in the Casa Bianca plantation, expressing her desire to create a home and livelihood despite skepticism from her family. She outlines her strategy to manage the plantation, emphasizing her commitment to empowering her workers, many of whom are former slaves, through self-sufficiency and responsibility.
