“Suffer Not a Woman to Speak”
Upon reading the article Suffer Not a Woman to Speak, I have found that the author of the article firmly believed that religion was a “mainstay of most colonial lives.” (Suffer Not a Woman to Speak, 1). The dominant religions in Colonial Americans were the Congregationalists, the Baptists, the Anglicans, the Methodists, the Calvinists, and the Quakers. As it can be found throughout the article, the author, and myself, find that religion was a monumental thing, a necessity if you will, to the colonials. The religious colonials, most of them were, believed that the world was damned for its evilness. While a grossly overzealous statement, we must keep in mind the background of the religious colonials.
In Suffer Not a Woman to Speak, the author believes that through Scripture, God wished women to understand that it was their duty and responsibility to be subservient to, not only their husbands, but men as a whole. The message that could be implied is that women are supposed to be subservient to man because not only does it say so in society, but it says so in the Scripture in Genesis 3:16. Therefore, if God says that women should serve man, and society says that women should serve man, then women should serve man, plain and simple.
