This study examines 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, as well as attitudes, were
analyzed to determine that women who bore illegitimate children
were punished more severely than their male partners, and regarded
with contempt by the majority of women.
