Answer: the answer is true

Step-by-step explanation:

In Puritan New England, a husband's authority in his house was nearly absolute; genuine freedom for a woman was understood to come from her subjection to her husband's will and desires. This is true because the Puritans in England follows strict moral rules and believes that pleasure is wrong, the husband has authority over the wife and children so therefore the woman freedom or will depends on the room given to her by her husband. The children are allowed to do basic things with the parent's permission
