Rachel Adler is one of the pioneers of Jewish feminism, who raised questions about feminism and Jewish law in her 1971 essay, "The Jew Who Wasn't There: Halacha and the Jewish Woman."
She continued to formulate her ideas, committed both to a deepening feminism and to the centrality of halacha in Jewish thought, which she synthesized in *Engendering Judaism*

Anne Askew (1521-1546) was a Protestant martyr during the reign of King Henry VIII. Arrested three times, during her last arrest she was questioned on heresy charges and tortured on the rack for not giving up the names of other women who thought as she did.
Her interrogations were recorded as the Examinations of Anne Askew, in which she showed a remarkable tenacity of spirit in the face of her accusers.

Beverly Wildung Harrison was a Presbyterian socialist feminist ethicist. Thoroughly grounded in mainline Protestant culture in the 1950s and 1960s, she embraced the challenges of 1960s social movements and articulated ethical principles for radical social change.
Her magisterial theological defense of abortion rights, *Our Right to Choose* remains the most thorough argument on the topic. https://wipfandstock.com/our-right-to-choose.html
