Women for all of history have been disadvantaged and oppressed. Many people day use the Bible to explain or prove that this is how God intended it to be: men first, and women second. Of course one of the most notable women in the Bible begins with Eve and how she was made from Adam, and made the mistake of falling into temptation, and then convincing Adam to do the same. Of course, this story of Eve doesn’t create a good look for women. In the Old Testament, women are often abused and treated badly, which was hard to read personally. However, we can’t forget about Mary who was the mother of Jesus. She is an extremely important figure in the Bible, and in Catholicism we even dedicate the month of May to her devotion. Overall, many people see the Bible as supporting the unequal rights of women, but personally I don’t believe that. Jesus died for everyone’s sins, equally.
