colonial women
Early American females
Colonial women refers to women who lived in territories under colonial rule, particularly in the American colonies before independence.
The term appears most often in historical contexts discussing daily life, legal status, and social roles: Colonial women managed households while facing limited property rights.
It may also describe women in other colonial settings—British India, French Africa—though American usage predominates.
