Our knowledge is limited to those whose ministries were close to Paul's. He is the only New Testament apostle with extensive missionary activity, and it is through his work that we have even a glimpse of the work of other Christian leaders. A careful reading of the New Testament shows evidence that the early church had many dedicated female workers for the spreading of the gospel.

Human nature remains very much the same, as millenniums come and go.
As long as history continues, women remain women. Looking into the mirror of scripture, today's women can compare themselves to their ancient counterparts. For example, some unattractive women, like the Leah of old, still desperately try to hold on to the men they love. Others who are beautiful like Rachel, Leah's sister, still feel that life owes them romance and happiness. This is not because of how much they necessarily contribute to society, but simply because of their physical beauty.
