There are several good books on this subject

Suggest you google "The plantation Mistress"

Some of this still stands. I've seen a few.

Here is the text of a contemporary book

You could also get Elizabeth Fox–Genovese's book Within the Plantation Household: Black and White Women of the Old South, series on Gender and American Culture, Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1988. ISBN 978-0807842324

If you really want to know what plantation life was like back
then, may I sugguest that you pick a copy of "Gone With The
Wind." Sorry I don't know of any websites.
