Join us to explore the social role of women in New Netherland, Brazil, and
other places in the expanding Dutch world of the seventeenth century. What
pathways and options were available to women in the Dutch empire? What
part did social class play in their choices and strategies? How did marriage
and local marriage regulations affect the ability of wives and unmarried
females to survive and to flourish, or not, in colonial imperial societies? How
influential were women in building colonial societies? And how closely, or not,
did those societies resemble a Dutch paradigm?
