There were SOME European women in the Americas quite early. IIRC some accompanied both Balboa and Cortez, and a fair number were among early settlers of Hispaniola and Cuba.

There were SOME European women in the Americas quite early.

It was still only SOME. This is very unlike the earliest settlers to the North...where women came in copious numbers--and, intermarriage with the Indians was, relative to Latin America, rare.
