Women in New France took care of the children, ran the household as well as worked outside. They also had more priveleges in Canada than in France or Britain because they had a chance to go to school! The women came to the colony in the first place because the first few women that came to new France were nuns. They were sent out by religious orders to help convert and educate Native Peoples. Women saw other women going there are and became interested and attracted to new France. At first new France had a very low number of women. They were usually priveleged. They had very few rights though. Married women couldn't be sued or sue, couldn't easily carry on business, dispose of own property, without the husbands permission. Women were usually more knowledgable because men were always gone fur-trading. If the womans' husband were to die they would be allowed to carry on a business or run a business. They were able to work in family business and be partners. They learned skills of buying, selling, investing, and bookeeping. Women had to clean and tidy the house, chamber pots, once a month they washed the floors, by sprinkling water on the floor. The girls, until the age of 12 went to school, after that, from 12-16 they were to get married. Girls over the age of 12 who are not married helped their mothers run the house, women also had to prepare and make all the meals. twice a day they had to carry in buckets of water. During the harvest season, women and children helped the men with the harvest.

The idea to bring women to New France, primarily known as the "King's Daughters" or "Les Filles du Roi," was initiated by King Louis XIV of France in the 17th century. This initiative aimed to address the gender imbalance in the colony, which was primarily populated by men, and to promote the establishment of families and stability in the new settlement. The program facilitated the immigration of young women from France to help populate and grow the colony.
France sent more soldiers than Britain while the women took over their jobs.

The filles du Roi were mostly orphans or abandoned young girls with little prospect in France. Orphanages and organisations which supported them, saw life in New France as a chance for them to marry and start a new life, with more opportunities that they could have had in France. For the king it meant that the colony could grow. The girls were placed under the patronage of the king who gave them a dowry (basic household items and a ittle money). There were very few women in the colonies, so any of them could quickly get married.
The first farmers in New-France where settlers coming over from France. they were mostly men. But later on women called LES FILLES DU ROI came over. They were given a husband and they were to make children and work by they're side. That's the reason why the population of New-France was so low in the first year since they're were no women. the first farmers where called LES HABITANTS.
