This work challenges the common assumption in contemporary discourse that Christianity is exclusively misogynist by documenting the presence of a co-existent, and positive tradition based on women's spiritual equality. In chronological order, references and images of women in church writings and lay culture are explored, as well as the actual lives of women and their vitae. "Women and Spiritual Equality in the Christian Tradition" is a substantial study documenting the tradition and it gives life to the previously muted voices of women's equality in Western society's discourse on women.
