’Tis not a woman’s place To say a word of grace In Church or in the street: Behind the spinning-wheel is her proper seat. Ioh. van Beverwiick, Van de wtnementheyt des vrouwelicken geslacht. It was beyond dispute what the place of women in the Church ought to be. According to the commandments of the Apostle Paul (I Timothy 2. 11-12, I Corinthians 14. 34-5) the weaker sex should remain silent. However, it remains to be seen if women have always heeded this admonition. Does not the text of the quoted rhyme already show otherwise
