The treatment of women in the Christian churches is nothing short of scandalous. It was not always thus. In the New Testament and the Early Church women played a full part in Church life, often in positions of high office. As the Church of England has once again, by a wafer thin margin, refused to admit women bishops, Julia Ogilvy has interviewed 12 of the most notable Christian women of our time. They discuss their ambitions, their disappointments and often the rage and hurt they have experience at the hands of a patriarchal and often misogynistic organisation.
