Editorial Reviews

"There is a lot going on in this book. . . . [Lawless's] use of scholarly tools from folklore, critical feminist discourse, feminist theology, and ethnography signals the need for multiple interpretive perspectives in understanding the lives of women in ministry, ordained or not."—Signs
