Women couldn’t vote. Or own property. I think its a stretch to say they had NO rights, but they sure didn’t have many.
It was an entirely different system. From America's earliest days, men handled the civic rules; women held honored status through theological rules and were of paramount importance by custom among those men who upheld the dominant Christian culture. Although there were always some who fell short, Christ instructed men to love their wives as He loved the church. The social measure of true manhood in frontier times was the temperate, hard-working man who protected and provided for his family, and was the spiritual leader of the family. A wife was a man's necessary partner in the agriculture-based economy; and the children she gave him assured enough labor and a continual ownership of private property.
At the beginning of the 20th century that led up to WW1 and WW2, we saw the rise of immigration by non-Christians, industrialization and urbanization that began stripping earlier generations of American women of their status, although many families attempted to continue the pattern until the 1970s, when Marxism overtook the universities and the judiciary.
