Women, at this point in time, were not thought of as completely equal to men, nor completely relevant to the settlement of the colony. They were thought of just better than slaves, who were "property" of the men. They were expected to do as their husbands or fathers do. Therefore, when a man signed the compact, the women accompanying him were also theoretically signing the document.
