When coming to the New World women were faced with many challenges, one in particular being work. Women could not work and do the same outside duties as man back then. Women were known for jobs like teachers, nurses, midwives, and for some working in other people houses. Also, women turned to entertaining men (keeping them company and some even had sexual relations just to pay for a room at the inn/ boarding house). Man would have faced finding work in a new town. Also, finding and providing shelter for not only his self but many would have came with families and that would have been a challenge. both genders would have had the basic challenge of finding food and water for survival. The odds against both genders for survival would have been challenging especially when you have no one or nothing in a new world ( or new place period).
