I've heard feminists say that the Bible is anti-women! Well they obviously haven't read it because:
Old Testament:
Sarah embraced motherhood at the age of 90
Naomi loved God with all her heart
Ruth went back to Israel with Naomi despite being a pagan
Rahab hid the spies so that God;s enemies wouldn't kill the Israelites
Hannah prayed for a child and was willing to give him back to the Lord in thankfulness
Abigail placated David after her husband stropped and threw a temper tantrum
Esther risked her life to save God's people from the wrath of Artaxerxes (the king)
New Testament:
Mary (the mother of Jesus) had a deeper faith than her cousin's hubby
Elizabeth (Mary's cousin) embraced late motherhood
All the women Jesus had time for, to heal them, speak to them, save them:
Samaritan woman at the well
Woman with the issue of blood
Syro-phoenician woman
Jairus' daughter
Mary Magdalene
The widow of Nain
The widow in the temple with her mite (small amount of money)
Peter's mother in law was healed
I'm sure there must be more!
Paul (feminists would say is a misogynist - they obviously haven't read the rabbinical attitude towards women in those days) was gracious to women
Lydia, Julia, Synthyche, Eudia and many others he greeted in his epistles!
Unfortunately people believe anything they are told without examining the evidence!
