Rosetta Smith (1770-1775—ca. 1825) was an Afro-Trinidadian slave trader and entrepreneur. Because of her association with disgraced governor Thomas Picton, she has come down in history as a seductress and sinister woman who used her wiles to manipulate the governor. A reexamination of her life indicates that she was an astute businesswoman who was successful in enlarging her fortunes over at least three decades, at a time when the British discouraged women and people of colour from engaging in trade.
