Early pioneer professional women to be admired
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a well told story how the earliest women ministers - there were many - accepted parishes in the "West" (now the Midwest) when clergymen preferred the comfort, money, and status of East Coast pastorates. These seminary-educated liberal women were very active ministers to their members covering largely rural areas. They networked with each other since support was nearly nonexistent from their Eastern headquarters.
