Again, it is well established in history that where woman has not
participated in human affairs the outcomes have never attained a state of
completion and perfection. On the other hand, every influential undertaking of
the human world wherein woman has been a participant has attained importance.

had twelve disciples and among His followers a woman known as Mary Magdalene.
Judas Iscariot had become a traitor and hypocrite, and after the crucifixion

the evidence of the Gospels that the one who comforted them and reestablished
their faith was Mary Magdalene.
