A study of cases of fornication, bastardy, and paternity cases brought before the courts in Essex County, Massachusetts between 1640 and 1692. Prosecution and conviction rates, sentencing patterns, and socio-economic data were analysed to determine that women who bore illegitimate children were punished more severely than their male partners.
