1 Cor 11v5:
5. But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. -asv
From time to time, the subject of whether Christian women may speak in church come up in doctrine and contention. Some faithful brethren actually forbid any female speaking in Church.
Paul mentioned in his letter that women do pray and prophesy; both are sound making activities.

The question of whether women Christians can speak up in Church is settled here.
Yes, if they speak of God, for God through the Spirit. Yes they should raise their voice in prayer to praise the Lord.
No, if it is a matter of secular education, home work (let them ask their husband at home), and personal contention.
Long hair given to women as a sign of lowering themselves and being submissive to men and Christ.

There are women judges, who by the Spirit judge Israel. These are extreme situation in extreme days.
