About This Quote

Mary Magdalene was the first person to witness Jesus' resurrection. Because she was a woman, many people rejected her story. Because women are not typically given much power, the Apostles did not believe Mary's story. The men who heard Mary tell them that Jesus had risen from the dead thought she was lying.

Women are often viewed as less important by society and therefore less powerful, or even less intelligent. As a result, when women speak up about their experiences in the church they are often doubted or even rejected.
