The first time I came across this passage in the Bible, I was filled with a kind of glow that I found satisfying.

Numbers 27: 1 to 8 is a treasure to all. No woman who has got wisdom will be cheated by a society being run by men.

From their action, I drew knowledge to define Feminism as having the courage of a woman or women to challenge the status quo as set or laid down by a patriarchal society.

It will help you more if you’d make out time to read the Bible text used in this article.
