Women especially fell victim to vengeful kidnappings from Native American tribes and false accusations of witchcraft in the Puritan villages of Massachusetts. Mary Rowlandson and Martha Carrier are just two of the many females who endured unbearable adversity, only to have their gender hinder their chances at survival.…
