What religion brought the greatest liberty to women and lifted them out of being downtrodden and uneducated?

Les teaches that Christianity brought the greatest liberty for the feminine portion of the human race, lifting women out of being downtrodden and not permitted to be educated or to read, and raising the woman onto almost an equal level with men. He then asks what present-day women have done with that liberty and says they have abused it; abusing something causes it to backfire. In light of the culture and day in which Paul writes, Paul says women should remain subdued, not talkative, and not take authority in the local church, asking their husbands at home. This kept a mood of subservience—not slavery—recognizing the husband as head of the house, going back to the Garden of Eden and Eve eating the fruit first.
