I would agree that the Old Testament laws regarding sexual purity were absolutely radical in ancient pagan society,

However, Christianity further elevated the value of women even among Jewish society. The Apostle Paul’s declaration that there “is neither Greek nor Jew, male nor female, we are all one in Christ Jesus” WAS most definitely a radical concept among Jewish and pagan society.

Jesus often broke Jewish social mores of that time in the way He talked and treated women - i.e. the story of the woman at the well, the woman caught in adultery, etc.

And, of course Paul’s stunning statement that Christian husbands are to love their wife as Christ loved His church had/has profound implications on the value of women. That was an extremely radical idea in that time.

So, while I agree that God had already expressed in the Old Testament laws the value of women by implication in the laws governing sexual behavior, it was fully realized in the Gospel and in the New Testament which further elevated the role and value of women - and Christianity spread and impacted the pagan world to a much greater degree than did Judaism.
