No Time for Silence documents evangelical women who taught at Bible institutes, preached at conferences, served at local churches, and led revivals more than 100 years ago. Debate over women’s public ministry tends to focus on biblical and theological issues while ignoring church history. Janette Hassey counters the popular but misleading claim that evangelical feminism is simply an accommodation to recent secular feminist and theologically liberal movements for women’s rights. Since the mid-nineteenth century, those who endorsed women’s public ministry were convinced that a literal approach to the Bible, and especially prophecy, demanded such leadership by women.
