Protestant Reformers and Attitudes toward Women and Family

In the history of Christianity, women have been an essential element in the development of churches and, just like figures in the Old Testament such as Deborah and Esther, in the New Testament, women have played a significant role in the spread of Christianity, and scholars have spoken of the sensitive role of capable and courageous women, but history, as always, has failed to represent their role. The Question here is how the Protestant reformers looked at on the issue of women and family. The fact is, however, that religious reformers have made many changes in the Christian intellectual system, and although some of their ideas on the interpretation of the Bible, as well as the priesthood of all believers and the spiritual freedom of believers are direct and indirect. It changed the issue of women and family, but they lacked projects in this area like other fields such as attitudes toward other religions and religious tolerance and human freedoms, and all their intellectual changes were within the traditional paradigm of the Middle Ages, not as expected. And so in matters such as full human equality, inferiority and dependence, and obedience to man, a long way remains.
