Clergy Women, by Barbara Brown Zikmund, Adair T. Lummis and Patricia M. Y. Chang

Feb 02, 2000 reviewed by Barbara Troxell

During nearly 40 years of full-time ministry, I have experienced many of the changes and "uphill" journeys explored in this well-researched, carefully organized book. Not only does it discuss its subject from many angles, but the data and stories ring true to the experiences of clergy of both genders.

The Century and women

Dec 20, 2000 by Mark Toulouse

In the late 1980s, Barbara Brown Zikmund lamented the failure of churches prior to the 1960s to understand and help working women, women who had first moved into the workplace during World War II. The indices of the Century during the ’40s and ’50s demonstrate how little attention mainline religion gave to women’s issues during those years.
