Raelene:  Thank you for talking about your experience in the church and for how you are growing spiritually - which is important and crucial.  

There are many, varied experiences for women to be sure and they are not all bad.  Mine, while being at time limiting and frustrating is not "bad" either but there are many ways in which women are limited from fully utilizing their gifts and talents in strict denominations where women cannot teach, or lead or spiritually guide.  The Church is coming along.  

You and others that read this review might be interested in reading a few other books. Rachel Held Evans is coming out with a book A year of Biblical Womanhood (and has a popular <a href="http://rachelheldevans.com/" title="RHE" rel="nofollow">blog</a>) and another good one which I haven't finished is Unladylike by Pam Hodgeweed who also has a <a href="http://godmessedmeup.blogspot.com/" title="PH" rel="nofollow">blog</a>. Of course the best organization to help you grow in your biblical understanding of these issues is Christians for Biblical Equality where you will find a plethora of incredible resources.
