Jane and the women of early Jamestown

Senior Curator Beverly Straube of the Jamestown Rediscovery Project discusses what we know about women at Jamestown prior to the "starving time" winter of 1609-10. The number of women present is unknown, and very few of their names have survived. According to the historical documents, however, dozens of women may have arrived prior to that winter.
