The changes in gender roles weren’t making everyone happy for examples in the story of The Kingdom of Matthias, Robert Matthews started a religious cult in New York during the 1830’s he came to believe that he was indeed not Robert Matthews, but instead he was Matthias, Prophet of the God of the Jews. Matthias was not happy with any of the changes that was happening in the roles of women, and he was not going to support any of it. His wife Margaret was suffering from the person he had become, he was extremely controlling and once told her that, “She had no God, that the husband was the savior of the wife, that as man was not whole without woman” (Johnson and Wilentz 80). Matthias was bitter because the women of this time had changed into
The Great Compromise represented the interest of those who wanted a strong national government and those who wanted states to have a strong voice by establishing a two-house Congress. History Alive, pg. 152 states, “The second house, the Senate, would represent the states.

Always being told the men in the bibles and the biblical stories were the heroes or the good people, while she was also always told that the more inferior and weaker ones were the women such as Eve, who bit into the apple, who was the “first sinner”. In Society around that time and even many years ago, It was extremely common practice in the church and society that the belief was that men were on the top, the strongest, wisest and smartest. And that women were in second place, inferiors, weaker and submissive to all. Almost all feminine figures in the church were seen as inferior to the men, seen as whores, seen as only mothers and wives. So to only see and hear these kinds of things keeps you in this place where all you believe is that you as a woman are inferior to men and others, that you have no place besides being a wife and mother.

It is true that during this time period women were the epicenter of trade it is even stated in the bible, “She is a skilled manufacturer, ‘She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.’ She is a hard-working agriculturist: ‘With the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.’
(Truth 128). Women are the mothers to the male society. This idea run similar to Paine’s views about Great Briton being a monster rather than a mother and instead of belittling America, the colonies only seek independence and become Great Britain’s equal. Truth continues to diminish and question the false view that women are lesser than men. Truth is displaying that women are as involved in their Christ as much as men are and this idea of women being lesser to men is not justified in their (those who see women as lesser)

The gospel of Luke pays special attention to women. Women are prominently featured in a way that is unique to this gospel. There are several stories featuring men which are paralleled by similar stories featuring women.

In view of the fact that he was addressing a more knowledgeable society, there were a lot more political and cultural concerns present throughout his gospel.
The use of women, by Biblical authors, offers a fascinating insight into the ideas and ideals of the Jewish people within the author 's own historical context, not necessarily the canonical texts supposed period. The ideas and ideals of the Jewish people that are most embedded within the characters of women are ancestry, honor, and holiness. Women, for these authors, become plot devices to establish authority, honor, and sacrality on behalf of men, as their daughters, sisters, or wives, but these women are not afforded the ability to carry their own plotlines as characters worthy of their own honor and authority regardless of their relations to men. Through Biblical women, men’s stories of honor, triumph, desperation, sinfulness are further
Luke is one of the most detailed Gospels and also has the most information about Jesus before his ministry: He traces the linage of Jesus all the way back to Adam (3:23-38) and reveals the familial relationship between Jesus and John the Baptist (1:36). Luke also emphasizes that Jesus is the Savoir (2:11) and highlighted the important role that women play throughout his ministry (8:1-3).
