and The Bible The Bible and the church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of woman’s emancipation. A famous 19th century feminist named Elizabeth Cady Stanton voiced this about her struggle for women’s freedom. Women‚ considered a lower class than the men‚ wanted this subjugation changed.
