Episode Synopsis

In this seriously-worth-your-time episode, we explore how Elizabeth Cady Stanton's 1895 "The Women's Bible" called out religious justifications for female subordination that mirror today's Christian nationalist rhetoric.Here's what you get:• Examining the books of Mark and Luke, which address marriage, divorce, and women's status in early Christianity• Stanton reveals how the New Testament made divorce laws even more restrictive for women• Challenging the prioritization of self-sacrifice over self-development for women• Ellen Battelle Dietrick uncovers women erased from Christian history like Thecla and Paula• Documentation of how a woman's crucial role in creating the Latin Bible was deliberately erased• Connecting Biblical patriarchy to economic systems that benefit from women's unpaid labor• Identifying religious hypocrisy when rules are selectively applied to control rather than upliftA great way to resist authoritarianism is visible and enthusiastic support of independent media.
