Answer:

Colonial women didn't have many rights in government per say like they do today. But they had huge responsibility in their homes and communities. They couldn't get divorced, sue anyone. And once they got married their rights as a human got even stricter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Things like child rearing, cooking, cleaning took up most of there responsibility.

Answer:

They had very little rights

Step-by-step explanation:

They were not allowed to vote and lost most control of their property (if they had any to begin with) in marriage. They could not divorce, and even single women could not make contracts, sue anyone, or be sued, at least until the late 18th century.
