This insightful volume provides an in-depth study of the backgrounds, professional role formation, worldviews, and ministerial leadership styles of 17 clergywomen. Clergywomen and Their Worldviews offers both group insights and metaphors helpful in understanding the actualities and ideals of institutional change. Employing sociological theory, such topics as gender orientations, establishing authority, stratification, and cultural belief systems are also discussed. As women increasingly emerge as a force in religious institutions, students of women's studies, religion, anthropology, and sociology will welcome this timely investigation of clergywomen.
MARTH LONG ICE is Assistant Professor of Sociology, Concordia College, Moorehead, Minnesota.
