[edit]- “If the man may preach, because the Savior died for him, why not the woman, seeing he died for her also? Is he not a whole Savior, instead of a half one, as those who hold it wrong for a woman to preach, would seem to make it appear?”
- Jarena Lee, The Life and Religious Experience of Jarena Lee (1836), p.11
