Getty ImagesDuring Women’s History Month, I started a Bible study highlighting some of the strong and courageous women who played significant roles in God’s plan. I just had to share five of them—although there are many more—that you can study for yourself. They’re not in any order of preference, and I’ve also included some videos I checked out while checking out these dynamic history makers in the Bible.
