RE: Was Jesus was the first advocate in Women’s Right to Equal Education?

Thanks for the addition information @garthfreeman , but interestingly to say about what you mentioned in your statement:

consider that there were cultural considerations that would have had an impact on Paul's prescriptions that just aren't applicable to us today
When we, as you mentioned, looked into the bible (like Paul's epistles) in a context environment, zoom out a little and see through the historical events (and including the book of Acts), we might have not been that far different back then and now.
I went through an introduction study for the Paul-line epistles, I was actually quite surprised with the lifestyle in the Corinthian days are not that much of a different than our modern times; from how the buildings were and how the social cultures were back then.
And I too agree that if we read deeper into God's meaning even from the old testament times, God tries to restore the identity of the woman, only to have heart harden society (the Israelite) to break it again and again.
Thank you so much for making time providing such valuable discussion into this post!
