In Puritan society, women were largely seen **as less important than men, expected to stay quiet**. Puritan beliefs emphasized a patriarchal structure where men held the predominant roles in both the family and church. Women were often relegated to domestic responsibilities and were expected to be submissive to their husbands. Although some Puritan women played important roles within their families and communities, their public influence was generally limited compared to men.
