When organizations are committed to gender equality, what gets in
the way of their achieving it? How and why do well-intentioned
people end up reinforcing sexism? Katie Lauve-Moon examines these
questions by focusing on religious congregations that separated
from their mainline denomination in order to support women's equal
leadership. In Preacher Woman, Lauve-Moon concentrates on
congregations affiliated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship
(CBF). Women are enrolling in Baptist seminaries at almost equal
rates as men and CBF identifies the equal leadership of women as a
core component of its collective identity, yet only five percent of
CBF congregations employ women as solo senior pastors. Preacher
Woman explores how congregations can be committed to ideas of
gender parity while still falling short in practice. Lauve-Moon
investigates how institutional sexism is upheld through both
unconscious and conscious biases. In doing so, she demonstrates
that addressing issues of sexism and gender inequality within
organizations must extend beyond good intentions and inclusive
policies.
