need help thinking about ideas about similarities between women in the 17th century and women now.

i am thinking along the lines of like they are as equally hardworking? family orientated. not the obvious ans like they still breathe air, eat, shit kind of ans thanks
Human nature doesn't change all that much, and women nowadays have much the same concerns as women in the 17th century. They fall in love, they marry, they have children, they worry about their children, they worry about having enough money. They enjoy a lot of the same things that women in the 17th century enjoyed, like music, dancing, parties, pretty clothes, going shopping etc. For example, here is a description by 16-year-old Hetty Shepard of a visit to Boston in 1676. She was amazed by all the things in the shops:
'Through all my life I have never seen such an array of fashion and splendor' she wrote 'silken hoods, scarlet petticoats, with silver lace, white . .plaited gowns, bone lace and silken scarves. The men with periwigs, ruffles and ribbons.'
However, as far as being hardworking goes, I don't think any 21s century woman in the western world has to do what was required of most colonial women. They were expected to have an incredible range of skills. The spun and wove wool and flax into cloth, and made the clothes. They milked cows, made butter and cheese, reared the poultry, brewed the beer that most people drank instead of water, made household items like soap and candles, preserved food for winter, made home remedies for illness etc. They were left in charge of farms and businesses for long periods while their husbands were away. They had to do all sorts of things that no modern woman would dream of having to do. William Byrd described an acquaintance who lived on the Virginia froniter as:
'A very civil woman' who could nevertheless 'carry a gunn in the woods and kill deer, turkeys . .shoot down wild cattle, catch and tye hoggs . . .and perform the most manful exercises as well as most men in these parts.'
