The testimony of a woman

I was shocked to learn in class that in the times of Christ the testimony of a woman had no validity under the law. What if a great injustice was committed against a woman--- which I’m sure happened many times--- and nobody was there to see it? I’ve also learned this semester in my history class that in many civilizations women status was no different than the one of a slave. Fortunately, the Savior destroys this humiliating idea by His teachings and example. In John 20:17 we read how the first person to testified of the most sublime of all news in the history of mankind was a woman.
I’m grateful for His divine truths. I’m gonna write my mom a letter this weekend =)
