About This Book

An account of the experiences of women who crossed to New England on the Mayflower and the later arrivals on the Ann and the Fortune, focusing on the 1621–1623 Plymouth community. It recounts the Atlantic voyage and landing, cramped shipboard conditions, births, deaths, and conflicts, then examines household organization, communal and family life, domestic economy, education, and the roles of matrons and maidens. The author weaves brief biographical sketches to illuminate daily routines, endurance, faith, and the formative influence of women on early colonial domestic standards while noting uncertainties and gaps in documentary evidence.
