Abstract:

There were two conflicting women's developing trends all the time in pre - industrialization period. One stemmed from the idea of the patriarchal system of traditional European society, whereas the other inherited the lofty ideal of equality of the new continent. During the period of colony and independence war the latter trend was in dominance, thus bringing about the spring of history of American women. However, the appearance of the Lady Time in the nineteenth century signified a victory of the "old continent trend" in the end. On the whole the social and domestic status of American white women experienced a fall during the pre - industrialization period.

Key words: pre- industrialization period, America, white women, trend
