Moncure, Amber Bennett. "The Life and Times of Sisley Jordan: European Women in Virginia, 1607-1640," American Civilization Program, Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg, May 1996.
Women living in Virginia in its earliest days of European settlement have been ignored as functional and influential members of their communities. Documentary and archaeological resources, when viewed as complementary bodies of knowledge, provide the information necessary to view women as individuals and as consequential participants in their families and communities. The sources reveal women who not only drew personal identity from their culture, but who played a significant role in that culture and in doing so, shaped their own roles within that society. The correlative nature of the individual and of culture is illustrated in viewing women as both the result and creator of the culture that existed in early Virginia.
