Glymph's 2008 book,
Out of the House of Bondage: The Transformation of the Plantation Household, won the
Philip Taft Labor History Book Award and was finalist for the Jefferson Davis Award for outstanding narrative work on the period of the Confederacy and the Frederick Douglass Book Prize for the best book written in English on slavery or abolition.
Susan-Mary Grant recommended
Out of the House of Bondage as the book in the field of nineteenth-century American history that everyone should read. In 2014, Glymph won the George and Ann Richards Prize for best article published in
The Journal of the Civil War Era in 2013; her article, "Rose's War and the Gendered Politics of Slave Insurgency in the Civil War" described Rose's role as one of the leaders of a slave revolt. Her 2020 book ''The Women's Fight: The Civil War's Battles for Home, Freedom, and Nation'' won the
Darlene Clark Hine Award from the
Organization of American Historians and the
Albert J. Beveridge Award from the
American Historical Association. Glymph was elected president of the
American Historical Association for the term beginning in 2024. The 140th president, she is the first Black woman to hold that post. In the same year she was elected to the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences. ==Bibliography==
