Orton, Carla Foust, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Domestic Life in Virginia in the Seventeenth Century" by Annie Lash Jester is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. This work explores the intricacies of domesticity and settlement during the early period of Virginia's colonization, particularly focusing on the roles and contributions of women and the establishment of stable homes. It provides a detailed examination of how domestic life contributed to the colony's survival and prosperity. The opening of the book details the foundational years of the Virginia colony, beginning with the arrival of Mrs. Lucy Forest and her maid, Ann Burras, in 1608. It describes the initial challenges of colonization, such as harsh living conditions and the necessity for settlers to adapt to a new environment. Jester contextualizes the settlement efforts within the larger motivations of wealth and expansion from England, highlighting the fundamental role of women in creating domestic stability and their management of households amidst the challenges faced by the early colonists. The narrative illustrates the development of early home structures and the food sources that became integral to Virginia's survival, setting the stage for the later flourishing of colonial life.
