Question

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C as they weren't really allowed anything else during those times.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C: Respected as mothers and religious leaders

Explanation:

In a traditional Puritan household, women were known to be submissive with the men running the household and earning an income. This submissiveness mostly came from the need to be obedient and moral.

However, women had authority within the home and were responsible for running the household.

As mothers, they made key decisions and helped to build a family system. Women also had a huge role in the Church and almost every Puritan church had female religious leaders.
