Colonial Societies
Being a woman, living in one of the three main colonial societies after the Columbian Exchange would have been difficult. However, if I had to choose one society, I would choose to live in the British colonies in North America. Although woman were treated poorly in some way in all three of the colonial societies, woman were able to have families and live with them, where as in the colonies in Brazil and the Aztec colony, families were not widely accepted. However, still woman were not treated equal to men in this colonial society. They were not allowed to become ministers or be educated like men in the colonial society. Also, if I lived in the British colonies in North American, my family would be able to own their own land rather than be owned by someone of a higher rank or nobility like in the other two colonies.
