The biblical Deborah was the ruler of all of Israel. Her chief military man wouldn’t go into battle unless Deborah accompanied him. Cleopatra ruled Egypt. Elizabeth I ruled England. The list is long.

Joan of Arc was a pretty good military leader too!

Thank You. I was just thinking of some of the Biblical examples of women in prominent positions of power. Seems someone needs to re-read the Bible and stop trying to make it say things it doesn’t say. The injunction is against women usurping their husband’s place in the home and being in spiritual positions of authority. One cannot take that and extend the injunction to government - especially with all of the examples present in the Bible of Godly women in government and women used of God in prominent ways outside the home.
