Good. I hope it works because you'll need to push them against their nature, treat them as their husband's properties and remove all their unearned extra rights.
Your community will have to enforce it, you can't do it alone and they cannot be given the possibility of subverting and betraying your community to foreign invaders. It's a tall order that requires an unwavering iron first, but it's doable. I wish you the best of luck in building it.
