308. Wives for Crops May 01, 2024

Show notes

In 1621 the Virginia Company of London recruited young women to become wives for the planters in its new colony in Jamestown. Though the women had all gone of their own free will, they were to be sold into marriage in exchange for tobacco leaves, generating a profit for investors and helping ensure the colony's long-term viability. Hopeful husbands were supposed to pay for their brides in tobacco. But who were the English women who made the Atlantic crossing? And what happened to them when they arrived?
