Content: Once European women arrived in the New World the views on what women's roles were conflicted. European women were always expected to do the household tasks, while caring for and teaching their children. In the eyes of European, women were never supposed to step into men's roles. Some European women were also sent into some of the Native American tribes to teach them the way of the English, primarily by teaching the women to weave clothes. as well as their religion, and culture. European wives, whose families were wealthy to own a slave did not have to complete household tasks. However, those who were not wealthy enough to own a slave did not receive any help with the house hold chores. Why Women Came to Virginia Colonies
