About This Book
The author argues for full gender equality by marshaling natural, historical, and biblical evidence, tracing women's status from antiquity through later legal and social customs, and interpreting New Testament teachings as supportive of equal spiritual standing. Chapters examine legal disabilities, property and voting rights, taxation without representation, and barriers in education and professions, while profiles of notable women illustrate achieved capacities. The volume assesses reforms, critiques one-sided legislation and cultural prejudice, and urges expanded civic and educational opportunities alongside continued moral and domestic responsibilities.
