Women in American Colonies
For my first paper, I want to write about women in the American colonies. I want to give a picture how can they survive in a strange new world across the Atlantic far away from their own mother country. I also want answer the question: "Did women have a greater freedom in the colonies than in their own country?" I want to concentrate more especially in England who migrated to the America. The New England colonies started in 1620 because of the lack of religious freedom in England. In addition England had too many people. The population of the country was jumped from 4 to 4 million during the 16th century. The food production and employment had not keep pace with the increase. In the other hand, one could hope to own land when it was almost impossible for most people to do so in England. Because of the reasons above, on 14th May, 1607, just over 100 men and boys filed in the small ships Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery, onto what English adventurers came to call Jamestown Island in Virginia. That was only the first English settlement in the now world. Following, there were 13 more settlement in America, which was Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, New Hampshire, North Carolina
To conclude, from all kind of race and status, women seemed to suffer more in American colonies. At first they came here with a new hope for changing their life became better, but they have to work even harder in America. It happened in their day life or even in their marriage. Women were force to obey their husband, their father, or their masters. So if someone asks weather women have a greater freedom in colonies, the answer is no they didn't. They have to fight to get what they want.
