GWD26-Q25-27

    

In colonial Connecticut between 1670 and 1719, women
participated in one of every six civil cases, the
        vast majority of which
were debt-related. Women’s participation dropped to one in ten cases after 1719,
and to one in twenty by the 1770’s. However, as Cornelia Hughes Dayton notes in Women Before the
Bar: Gender, Law, and Society in Connecticut, 1639-1789, these statistics are somewhat deceptive: in fact, both
the absolute numbers and the percentage of adult women participating in civil
cases grew steadily throughout the eighteenth century, but the legal activity
of men also increased dramatically, and at a much faster rate. Single, married,
and widowed women continued to pursue their own and their husbands’ debtors
through legal action much as they had done in the previous century, but despite
this continuity, their place in the legal system shifted dramatically. Men’s
commercial interests and credit networks became increasingly far-flung, owing
in part to the ability of creditors to buy and sell promissory notes (legal
promises to pay debts). At the same time, women’s networks of credit and debt
remained primarily local and personal. Dayton contends that, although still
performing crucial economic services in their communities—services that contributed
to the commercialization of the colonial economy—women remained for the most
part outside the new economic and legal culture of the eighteenth century.
