Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Women were leaders, teachers, and missionaries in the early Christian Church. Some notable examples include Mary Magdalene, who was the first person to witness the resurrection of Jesus and was referred to as the "apostle to the apostles," and Phoebe, who is mentioned by the apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans as a leader and helper in the church. However, as Christianity became more institutionalized and patriarchal, women's roles were increasingly marginalized and limited.
