| | + | '''"To Use Her as His Wife" and the memoir of Abigail Bailey helped to define where women fell during this time in regards to the law. What I found interesting about both situations, even with their vast differences, they both were about women whose lives were left to be determined by the men that surrounded them.''' It is never clear what Martha Root wanted for her life as she was the one who in the end was responsible for raising the child. Root's opinion never appeared to come up for debate as it was overshadowed by the cultural and societal norms set by the male members of the community. The more drastic example of this legal inequality can be felt in Abigail Bailey's confession of her husband and daughters incest driven relationship. She is clearly broken that this immoral and sinful activity is taking place within her own home and she cannot even protect her own child. She continually comments that she "knew not that I could make legal proof" and even when she was able to bring her husband in front of the law it was by the help of her brothers and over a property settlement, not the rape of his daughter. '''It leaves the question if men were considered more morally upright than women as the choices they made guided the entire community?''' --Rachel T. |

Should the Apprenticeship in PA documents and Elizabeth Sprig’s letter (Indentured Servant Complaint) from her time as an indentured servent be understood as ‘typical’ experiences? How might patriarchy or family structure of Colonial America impact the lives of young female apprentices or indentured servants?''' -Seth M. |
