It's the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage! Krista looks at the prevailing cultural influences that supported and opposed women's suffrage and considers the way that culture impacts our beliefs today.  Today it seems so strange to keep women from voting, but it was a widely held belief that voting fell outside of the appropriate "roles" for women to have in society.  Will the prevailing status "roles" of women in today's churches be looked upon in 100 years as an oppressive oddity of the past? Is it a stretch to relate these two issues? Listen and find out!
