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.
