For reference, I've listed here nine books of interest to those studying women's roles in biblical churches. Several of these defend women's right to teach and preach (Kempe, von Grumbach, Fell); others are more of interest for other reasons.

R. W. Dale, a Congregationalist, is the earliest source I can find for the argument that Paul's "household codes" in Ephesians are uplifting to women and counter-cultural in their Roman context.
