Anne of Green Gables: The Unexpected Arrival at Green Gables Quotes

“If I were a man I think I’d be a minster. They can have such an influence for good, if their theology is sound; and it must be thrilling to preach splendid sermons and stir your hearers’ hearts. Why can’t women be ministers, Marilla? I asked Mrs. Lynde that and she was shocked and said it would be a scandalous thing. She said there might be female ministers in the States and she believed there was, but thank goodness we hadn’t got to that stage in Canada yet and she hoped we never would. But I don't see why. I think women would be splendid ministers. When a social reunion is to be prepared, it's the women who do all the work. I'm sure that Mrs. Lynde can pray each prayer just as well as Mr. Bell, and I don't doubt she could preach well with some practice.”
