One of the most radical early Quaker beliefs was the idea of gender equality. Margaret Fell, the "Mother of Quakerism," was vocal in her support of equality, encouraging women to embrace their voice and speak up in meetings and beyond. A true Quaker *and* Women's History Month icon 🙌

"Women presenting as men—whether they were doing it to escape the stifling construct of feminine life, to stay close to husbands or brothers who went to war, or because they had what we today call gender dysphoria — have been serving in combat for centuries." 🗃️ www.washingtonpost.com/history/2025...
