There were a few women in Jamestown and it’s not hard to understand why there wasn’t a big rush up the gangplank in England. They had nothing close to equal rights, then not even in God's house. During church services, the gentlemen sat to the front in chairs with backs. The common men came next on rows of benches. In the rear, on wood planks up against the back wall, sat the women where they wouldn’t distract the men folk from their devotions. Back then, inequalities were more dramatic. Back then, assuming women had been given the right to vote, ERA might have earned their full support.
