  7. “Letha Dawson Scanzoni, an #evangelical author who argued, gently but persuasively, that the Bible considered women equal to men, inspiring a wave of #Christian #feminism and, perhaps inevitably, a backlash against it, died on Jan. 9 in Charlotte, N.C. She was 88.” [NYT 2/224] Her work was of enormous help to me in the 1970’s and 1980’s in my conversations with evangelical students at #WellesleyCollege when I served there as College Chaplain. –HPS
