Publisher's Synopsis
"Drawing from the Plymouth Colony court documents, as well as from other primary sources, Weaker Vessels describes the lives of women and children and how their daily existence reflected the attitudes and values of their fellow colonists. This is a subject that has been largely overlooked by historians, and this book promises to make a valuable contribution to a whole new field of study. Because 2020 is the four-hundredth anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower, this work will have special significance as events unfold to celebrate this milestone."--.
