Evangelical Christian Women draws on two years of ethnographic research nationwide to shed new light on the gender conflict faced by women in evangelical Christianity. It looks where other studies do not -- at women who, while remaining entrenched in and committed to evangelical Christianity, are also resisting accepted gender roles. In the face of a growing number of scholarly studies of conservative religious women that argue that submission is somehow "really" empowerment, this book seeks to get at the other side of the story; to document and explore the experiences of the women caught in the middle of the conservative Christian culture war over gender.

First Sentence
"Tears welled in my own eyes as Sandra described her journey from her early years as a woman so committed to her faith that she chose to devote her life to it to a despair so complete that she wasn't sure she wanted to continue to live at all."
