Summary

Religious conservatives and secular liberals have battled over the 'appropriate' role of women in society. This title presents an exploration of Women's Aglow Fellowship, one of the largest women's evangelical organizations in the world, that challenges the simple generalizations often made about charismatic or 'spirit-filled' Christian women.
