IT is thought strange and particularly shocking by some persons for a woman to question the absolute correctness of the Bible. She is supposed to be able to go through this world with her eyes shut, and her mouth open wide enough to swallow Jonah and the Garden of Eden without making a wry face. It is usually recounted as one of her most beautiful traits of character that she has faith sufficient to float the Ark without inspecting the animals. So it is thought strange that a woman should object to any of the teachings of the Patriarchs. I claim, however, that if she honestly thinks there is anything wrong about them, she has a right to say so. I claim that I have a right to offer my objections to the Bible from the standpoint of a woman. I think that it is fair, at least, to put the case before you as it looks to me, using the Bible itself as my chief witness. That Book I think degrades and belittles women, and I claim the right to say why I think so.

Helen H. Gardener (Alice Chenowith) was a prot g of the famous freethinker Colonel Robert G., and his wife Eva Ingersoll. He encouraged her to give a series of lectures on freethinking in 1884. These lectures were later published in 1885 as "Men, Women, and Gods, and Other Lectures" under the name Helen Hamilton Gardener, a name she subsequently adopted in her personal life. During this time, Gardener became friends with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and joined the revision committee for Stanton's "The Woman's Bible." She was active in the woman's suffrage movement and highly instrumental in persuading President Woodrow Wilson to support the 19th Amendment. In 1920 (following the ratification of the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote) she was appointed by President Wilson to the U.S. Civil Service Commission, the highest federal position occupied by a woman to that time.This volume includes two of Gardener's books -- "Men, Women, and Gods, and Other Lectures" and "Facts and Fictions of Life." Both are collections of lectures and essays on a variety of subjects. Gardener was a freethinker and extremely critical of Christianity's oppression of women. The book includes her lecture "Sex in Brain" in which she debunks the idea that women's brains are inferior to men.
