Mary Beth Norton’s article explains the experience of women in Colonial America through migration, religion, creating communities and families. Mary Beth Norton explains women’s experience during Colonial America is different than in Britain because Colonial America had more opportunities for women to succeed in religion, marriage, and societies. In the late 16th to early 17th century, British migrants started to move to the United States to create their own colonies and build societies in the Northeast. (Page 596). During the 17th century and 18th century, houses women lived in New England were better built and more spacious because women had increased domestic work spaces and better control of household activities through gardening or cooking. (Page 600). Women increased the population in Colonial America and economic because of the quality household goods, manufacturing spinning wheels for clothes, and produce cheese and butter. One example of Women in Massachusetts was women’s production in Colonial America because it brought increased production, female trading networks along with social networks, women working in mill factories, and women became more independent through production. (Page 604-605). Women and girls learned to read through religious independence because more women joined the church more than men, they read the Bible in church, and women could better educate their children through church. I think women’s role became more significant in Colonial America because they had more freedom and became independence, women helped increase the economics in the Northeast, and women played a role in a political prospective through societies and social interaction through trade in production and economics. Colonial women helped create an identity in Colonial America because women migrating to the United States developed their own identity by creating their own society, educations through religion, economics through production and trade, and building a better future for their children. This reminds of Marissa Cervantes’<\/a> post from Michael Gomez’s article because women in the Sierra Leone and Akan societies had increased role in their community and given more power political and social interaction in their communities. Women’s roles were also significant through religion because they helped establish their colonies and communities.<\/p>\n
