Sweat-Morin Homestead

Explore the 18th-century Americas, when gender identity was defined by a strict, patriarchal structure in which men held public power and women were restricted to domestic, private roles. Religion reinforced these hierarchies, defining female virtue through motherhood and piety, while legal frameworks often rendered women secondary to&nbsp;men.
