During the English Civil War, radical Anabaptist sects such as Quakers, Baptists, and Levellers called for the spiritual equality of women. Officials at the Episcopalian and Presbyterian churches accused the groups of ripping apart traditional society. Women actively protested against the imprisonment of a Leveller leader, even physically attacking Oliver Cromwell and ripping off his coat. This was very radical for women of the time who were expected to obey their fathers and their husbands, without having an opinion of their own.
