in what way did quakers promote equality for women? they allowed women to open buisnesses they allowed women to hold slaves they allowed women to fight in battle they allowed women to work in heavy industry they allowed women to preach

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

Quakers are against slavery and fighting in war. Their men do neither of those things. I'm thinkin' they wouldn't want women to do them eiter.

OpenStudy (jgirl128):
