Description
This historical study examines fornication, bastardy, and paternity cases brought before Essex County, Massachusetts courts between 1640 and 1692. Drawing on prosecution records, conviction rates, sentencing patterns, and socio-economic data, the research reveals how women who bore illegitimate children faced significantly harsher punishment than their male partners and endured widespread contempt from their communities. The analysis provides critical insights into seventeenth-century attitudes towards sexuality, gender, and social control, demonstrating how legal systems disproportionately penalised women for the same transgressions that men largely escaped. This work contributes to understanding the lived experiences of marginalised women during colonial America and the intersection of law, morality, and gender in early modern society.

Key Features

Daughters of Eve examines original court records from Essex County, Massachusetts spanning 1640 to 1692, providing primary source evidence for seventeenth-century legal proceedings.

The study analyses prosecution and conviction rates alongside sentencing patterns to reveal systematic disparities in how courts treated men and women accused of fornication and bastardy.

Incorporates socio-economic data to contextualise the legal outcomes and demonstrate how class and status influenced the treatment of pregnant brides and unwed mothers in colonial communities.

Part of the Studies in American Popular History and Culture series from Routledge, positioning this research within broader scholarly conversations about early American social history.
