In the pantheon of publications related to women's educational
history, there is little research concerning women's education in
the context of the Baptist church. In Doing the Word: Southern
Baptists' Carver School of Church Social Work and Its Predecessors,
1907-1997, T. Laine Scales and Melody Maxwell provide a complete
history of this unique institution. By exploring the dynamic
evolution of women's education through the lens of the women's
training program for missions and social work at the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, the authors show how the institution
both expanded women's education and leadership and also came into
tension with changes in the Southern Baptist Convention, ultimately
resulting in its closing in 1997. A touchstone for women's studies
and church history alike, Doing the Word reopens a lost chapter in
the evolution of women's leadership during the twentieth century-a
tumultuous period in which the Carver School, under significant
pressure to reverse course, sought to expand the roles of women in
leading the church.
