Question

In what way was the Quaker view of women unusual in the 1600s?

Answer 1

The correct answer is option a. "Quakers considered women equal in spiritual matters, and women often led Quaker meetings." The way that Quakers (of The Religious Society of Friends) viewed women was very progressive for their time during the 1600s. During that time it was very unusual that women was considered spiritually equal to men for any religion, and for Quakers women were equal and had the right to talk and lead their meetings.
