Best Answer

Puritan women were at home taking care of the children. Well off families taught their girls to sew beautiful works of art in items called samplers. They also had to pass off their culture to their children. Women did not have that many rights but at times they were allowed to take part in discussions with men.

They would be taught about their agreement with God and stories and lessons of the bible. They would cook, clean, and sew. These things were expected by Puritan women, but if they didn't do what they were supposed to do, they would be out casted by the society. Puritan women were highly obedient to their husbands and were very dutiful tot their house work.


What punishment where uses in puritan women?

Ceremonial Killings were a Puritan thing but if you study carefully the new Puritan's that moved to Massachusetts looking for religious freedom often did use capital punishment such as hangings and stone pressure (victim is tied to the ground and stone slabs mounted on their chest until they cease to breathe). Women were not exempt from such deaths. However, for smaller crimes such as gossiping, Puritans would actually sew the gossiping women's eyes and mouth shut so they could see no evil or speak no evil. Sadly i do not know the exact name of this ritual/punishment.
