Rebekahs, or the International Association of Rebekah Assemblies (a component of Odd Fellows; but a separate organization) are so-named for the Degree of Rebekah which takes its namesake and source from the Biblical story of Rebekah.
The Rebekahs were started in 1851 when it was quite unusual for women to be given the opportunity to self-govern to organize and implement good deeds in their communities. It would take another 70 years for women in the US to vote!
