Early Feminism??

Being a feminist, I found the article by Margaret Fell very intriguing; she provided a substantial amount of evidence supporting women's rights. She brings to the readers attention how no where in the bible does it suggest that men are stronger than women. Fells defends women with regards to the slight mishap with the Serpent and the Garden suggesting that both man and woman were tempted and both ate from the tree. Fell picks out numerous Biblical passages where women speak out and the Lord is pleased and listens. She also suggest that the Church may be represented by a woman. Fell dictates that the sex of an individual is no reason to suppress their rights. Fell demonstrates God and Jesus's love for women by giving countless examples of such and explaining each of them in detail. Fell uses the Bible to prove equality of both sexes and does so in a spectacular and informative manner. I respect Fell for speaking out in a society that disregarded women's rights. She used the resources that had to make a strong argument in her and all women's favor.
