- Notes
- "[B]y Jonathan Petre".
- "By the summer of 1993, more than 1,200 women had been ordained as priests in the Church of England, bringing to an end one of the most turbulent chapters in recent ecclesiastical history. Few issues have provoked such rancour and bitterness, division and dissent. This book is a journalist's attempt to capture some of the flavour of these extraordinary times -- from the early struggles of women to make their voices heard to the dramatic denouncement on 11 November 1992, and its aftermath. It is not written by an insider, nor does it aspire to the heights of an academic treatise". -- Preface.
