Womens Role?

While i was writing my outlines for our midterm i realized that there is not much mention about women. I realize that women had no rights like they do now. But i am still curious, when the servants came over from Spain, it says most of them were men and young men. Were there still some girls in that group? If there were what were their roles. It is hard to imagine there were no women because then their wouldnt be another generation but i havent read much about the female role.
