The correct answer is True

Step-by-step explanation:

The Quakers were a religious movement that emerged in the 17th century in England but soon expanded to North America, this religious movement is part of Christianism and supported the idea God and religion were inherent to each human being. Because of this, different to other religious movements and groups, the Quakers allowed women to become ministers, lead religious meetings and having an active role in the movement just as men did, as they were seen as equals; although in some cases women could only preach for groups of women. Thus, it is true, among Quakers, the women could speak as freely as men and were seen as equals in religious meetings.
