why did no woman write even just a single word in the bible?

Because the books of the New Testament were written in the 1st century C.E. Very few women (upperclass) had access to education. Greek especially liked to keep their daughters and wives ignorant, and at the same time, they despised them for their ignorance. Jewish women -although they were considered with more dignity- were mostly peasant, or, in the cities, occupied with taking care of the household. Their society was dominated by the scribes and priests class, and a woman pretending to teach men would have been considered acting agains nature. There were still some women who felt free enough to follow Jesus and to support his ministry with their donations (Luke 8:1-3). That there are only male authors is definitely a matter of the historical and social circunstances, and no sign of hostility against women.

u better ask why there is no gospel written by a women in the bible. Have u heard of Mary Magdalen gospel? I think not....I saw an document on Discovery on how a man decided who from the gospels should be included in the bible and he said if there are four cardinal signs there sould be 4 gospels. But among the apocryfical gospels are also the gospel of Mary and Maty Magdalen.

How about Bunda Maria? the mother of Jesus? the saints? are they not in the bible too? Joan of arch? How can this be?

I think it is the same reason that women did not write anything until the modern day, they did not have the rights and were seen as inferior. You never know that Matthew, Mark or Luke etc were not woman, because many woman did write but published it in the name of a man, so that they could publish it.

i think they wrote it but it was thrown out.. there are a lot of books that they didnt include and mary magalene was rumored as one of them.. since women werent valued as much it seems back then they prob thought it wasnt of importance

I have never really thought about it, but I am sure it has something to do with women not speaking.

I dont have the exact idea, but as far as i can go, its beacuse the chosen ones, have to be undefiled, without the pleasures of this world, they would be virgins, and die preaching the good news. So i dont think any of the ppl were at that time, none of the women you mentioned, except apostles of jesus christ, who followed him just like him.

Hi sutanhartanto, It is for the same reason that the apostles of Jesus were all men. Women were only considered to be a man's property in those days. Most women had little or no education. There were books written in the early days of Christianity that were not included in the Bible. Probably some of those were written by women. Blessings.

Hi, Good question. Though I think most has to do with the fact, that a women had no time left over to learn how to read. There were no washing machines and stoves to cook on, like we have now. They probably even made there own cloths. Looking after all those children, because there was no birth control. It was a hard life for a women. And there are other book rolls. The Church has kept them secret, I believe they are in Rom . These book rolls are kept secret because the church does not want us to be too wise. I believe the truth is that God Loves all of us , no matter what. Weather a person is homosexual, married or just living together,a child is born illegal and has no parents. I believe God loves you unconditionally. No matter what religion you claim to have. There is a lot of beautiful ,wonderful details being kept from us. All because the church does not want to lose power. Is is sad! Take care, Margajoe

because the era when the bible was written was a male-dominated one. so if ever a woman will take account of what happened during Jesus's days, i don't think anyone would pay attention. Plus., those people are His desciples... aside from mary magdalene, i can't think of anyone else who traveled with him.

Hello sutanhartanto, Well I personally think women were thought to be unclean because of their monthly cycle and also they are treated as second class ciztens and ofcourse they cannot read and right. Men always thinks it a man world and I don't think everything in the bible is true, men make stories as they go along. Tamarafireheart.

Have you ever though about how the bible is inspired works of GOD? Maybe god only wanted the men to write the books.

Wow that is a fantastic question. This is my opinion: I think women was prohibited at that time from reading or writting so they could not express themselves at all.
