Can a Christian Women be a Feminist?

By Anna K Leon

Can a Christian Women Women Be a Feminist? To answer this question we have to examine different feminist theories, and what it stands for. Is God a feminist? How can Christain women be a feminist if the Bible state she has to submit to her husband? We enter into a historical discussion about women's emancipation and new modern issues that face the Feminist today. The book is based on Olive Schreiner's original book Woman in Labor. This Book includes the famous "Letters on the Equality of the Sexes and the Condition of Woman": Addressed to Mary S. Parker, President of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, that was published in 1837. In her letters, she examines the equality of sexes based on the word of God. She used the Old King James Version in her discussion and encouraged every reader to search the truth out for themselves. Anna K. Leon edited the work; this work is included in another book named "Can a Christian be a Feminist?" Sarah Moore Grimk was born on November 26, 1792; she was part of a family with 14 siblings. She was an activist for women's rights, abolitionist, author, and part of the women's suffrage movement. She spent her childhood in North Carolina where she was born. In 1820 she moved to Philadelphia Pennsylvania and joined the Quakers. On Sundays, at age 12 Sarah would teach Bible classes to the slaves. Sarah's parents warned her to stop her teachings because it was against the law to teach slaves to read in South Carolin since 1740. In secret Sarah continued to show her personal slave Hetty, when her father found it out he threatened to have the slave-girl whip. Sarah was very unhappy but for the sake of Hetty stopped teaching her. The Pioneers continued to encourage the slaves to accept the Christian faith, and get baptized, but they refused to show them to read. Sarah felt the whites did not see them has real brothers and sisters in the Lord otherwise they would be taught to read the bible. Her younger sister followed her, and together they started working with the abolitionist movement. Together they traveled to speaking event around the state. She died on December 23, 1873.
