Towards the end of the 17th century, women in New England (B) were a majority in many church congregations.

New England was mostly founded by Puritans who were very religious and patriarchal such that women:

  • could not suggest or vote on new laws
  • could not lead societies
  • were under the authority of their husbands
  • could not lead in church

Towards the end of the 17th century however, women started going to church more because in church they were not as discriminated against as they were regarded as being equal in spirit.

To conclude, Puritan women began to go to church towards the end of the 17th century so much that they were usually in the majority and this was because they faced less discrimination there.
