an intelligent preacher woman

In Srimad Bhagavatam (8.22.18-“19) we have Bali Maharaj’ story. When he’s arrested by Visnu, the following happens: “(…)O King Parīkṣit, Lord Brahmā then began to speak to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, within the hearing of Prahlāda Mahārāja, who stood nearby with folded hands. But Bali Mahārāja's chaste wife, afraid and aggrieved at seeing her husband arrested, immediately offered obeisances to Lord Vāmanadeva [Upendra]. She folded her hands and spoke as follows.” A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada notes here that “Although Lord Brahmā was speaking, he had to stop for a while because Bali Mahārāja's wife, Vindhyāvali, who was very agitated and afraid, wanted to say something.” So we see that Bali’s wife had her right to speak, and she was not only listened but actually Brahma even stoped talking once she started talking. Srila Prabhupada, in the next verse, explains: “Bali Mahārāja's wife, who was most intelligent, supported the arrest of her husband and accused him of having no intelligence because he had claimed proprietorship of the property of the Lord. (…)Thus Vindhyāvali, Bali Mahārāja's intelligent wife, prayed that her husband be released, by the Lord's causeless mercy.” (S.B. 8.22.20). In this story we have an example from the scriptures of a woman who can see her husband’s mistake and preaches about that, telling the right behavior that should be adopted. Her intelligence is glorified and, in the verse, she gives great advices about religion.
