  • Colonial Gender Identity: Cultural, Religious and Familial Outlooks in the Colonial Era

    Sweat-Morin Homestead 374 School Street, Sanford, ME, United States

    Explore the 18th-century Americas, when gender identity was defined by a strict, patriarchal structure in which men held public power and women were restricted to domestic, private roles. Religion reinforced these hierarchies, defining female virtue through motherhood and piety, while legal frameworks often rendered women secondary to men.
