Colonial Women’s Rights Movement
Early 17th Century
I ask you, were these brave women not fighting for their rights?

Content: Were these not brave women? Did they not brave the uncertainties of the New World—never knowing what dangers they would encounter? Did they not play a vital role in building the New England Colonies? Did they not work alongside the men to create this great country of ours? Why have women been left out of history? Were men that frightened to allow women to enjoy basic human rights? Were they afraid that women would usurp their power? That women would take control and make a mess of things? I just do not get it! In the American Colonies, women were taught to read so they could read the Bible.
