4.41 men signed the Mayflower Compact. Why do you think the women didn't sign the document?

History

The reason the women didn't sign the Mayflower Compact document is "simply that the men still hold the notion of women not having the right to sign a contract when they just arrived."

This is evident because when the Pilgrims arrived in Cape Cod in <em>1620</em>, the women in England had no right to sign contracts or other socio-political rights.

Thus, it was assumed that the women in the Mayflower ship held no such rights as well.

Eighteen women arrived with the Mayflower Compact ship in November 1620.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the reason women didn't sign the Mayflower Compact document is "that they held no rights to do so."
