The participants of the Bold Women of the Reformation Tour took two quizzes to test their knowledge of bold women of faith. Would you like to try your hand at either or both?
Answers will be provided later, so stay tuned. The first person to blog back with the most correct answers for each quiz will receive a Lucinda pin.

Loved the "bold women..." quiz but I have no idea for most of the answers!
I'm meeting with a women's society tomorrow morning and would like to share this with them...can you provide the answers to a "women of the reformation-deficient" pastor?

Would love the answers as our Thankoffering Sunday our women will the service (twice) since our pastor will be gone. We want to emphasis bold women and I feel this would be perfect to use as the sermon base. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...Helen Riggs, Banning, CA
