<br/><br/>Women as co-workers with Paul --  Women as homemakers in the post-Pauline letters --  Women as disciples and prophets in the canonical and apocryphal Gospels and Acts of Apostles --  Missionary women from the second to the fifteenth century --  Missionary women in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries --  Missionary women in the nineteenth century and until Vatican II --  Missionary women since Vatican II --  A feminist missiology for contemporary missionary women. 
<br/><br/> In matters of mission history, most major works that treat the full sweep of the church's missional self-understanding are less than helpful in understanding women's part of that narrative. Smith tries to redress the balance with a comprehensive history of mission that highlights the critical contributions of women and the theological developments that influenced their role. --From publisher's description.
