Women in the colonial day were treated awful. When they were wed often by the age of 13 or 14 they b/c property of their husbands. The husbands had the right to beat the their wives. Wives were expected to clean, cook, make clothing, and even doctor the family. They had to store food for winter and even make the candles for the family's use. If the women were lucky enough to be married to a middle class man then they sometimes had servant to help them otherwise they were forced to care for the family single handedly.
