  In light of Fell’s points about women’s spiritual equality with men and their special role in redemptive history, she advises her readers to re-interpret or re-contextualize those common injunctions against women’s speaking in the Bible. She begins with 1 Corinthians 14:34, “Let your women keep silence in the churches”. In a passage preceding this statement, Fell points out, “the Man is commanded to keep silence as well as the woman, when they are in confusion and out of order” (8). The apostle’s words apply only to those women who are in “strife, confusion and malice in their speaking” (9)—those women who were “under the Law, and in that Transgression as Eve was” (8). But his words do not apply to those women who have the “Everlasting Gospel to preach, and upon whom the Promise of the Lord is fulfilled” (9)—they do not apply to those who have turned to the light.
