Evaluates the historical perspective of women and ecclesiastical authority in Judeo-Christian culture with an ultimate focus on the question of priesthood in Mormonism. The pattern of exclusiveness is thousands of years old. This practice may cause female church members to suffer a loss of autonomy and egalitarianism with the organization. The ordination of women may well become a future topic of discussion in Mormon circles.
