Explanation:

In U.S. history, the Religious Society of Friends mainly known as the Quakers were different Christian groups and movements that emerged in the 17th century and promoted the idea that God reveals to each person and because of this Quakers promoted tolerance in society. In terms of Quakers views on women, Quakers believed women were equal to men and because of this, they allowed women to led the meetings or became ministry if they wanted to do this.
