AP US History
Unit 2 – Colonial Society, 1607–1754
Topic 2.7
How did women's roles differ between colonial New England societies and Native American tribes during this period?
Women in both societies held similar domestic responsibilities without any political authority or public presence.
In New England societies women were largely relegated to domestic roles, whereas many Native American tribes recognized women as important agricultural producers and decision-makers within their communities.
In both cases, women were primarily responsible for child-rearing with no other substantial roles outside home.
Women in both cultures enjoyed equal status with men and participated actively in politics and warfare alongside males.
