- Description
- The author offers an in-depth view of English women in the Maryland colony, mostly in the years from 1634 to 1713. Religious conflicts had a pronounced effect on women and their families in early modern England, but in the New World gender relations and family formations were largely unhampered by the unsettled political and religious climate of England. In Maryland, English Arminian catholics, particular baptists, presbyterians, puritans, quakers, and roman catholics lived and worked together for most of the seventeenth century. By examining thousands of wills and other personal documents, this study depicts women's place in society and the ways in which religious values and social arrangements shaped their lives.

In the greater Hudson Valley, Dutch newcomers, Native American residents, and enslaved Africans wove a series of intimate networks that reached from the West India Company slave house on Manhattan, to the Haudenosaunee longhouses along the Mohawk River, to the inns and alleys of maritime Amsterdam.
