David, I very much enjoyed reading this post! It should be required reading in schools in honor if the REAL women's month. I am going to cross-post this before the month ends!
"As secularists continually pit men against women in arguments involving money and power, we can celebrate the fact that God uses the courageous faith of both men and women to advance his eternal kingdom."
Excellent and much needed historical perspective. One of my earliest ancestors in America was an immigrant midwife in Boston. She was jailed for her work and became famous as the first woman’s rights advocate. A 4th or 5th grandfather rode with Paul Revere but received almost no credit. American history is impossibly rich with history. Another female is famous for clearing out her region of British pre revolutionary war.
Oh boy Dave! Another essay you beat me to the punch. I have been conteplating writing about the great women of history. Great job!
