A rare polemic that 'examines the prejudice which excludes women from the ministry of the Nonconformist or Free Churches, and claims this sphere of labour as a legitimate extension of the already enlarged field of woman's activity'. The author, Hatty Baker, was a leading figure in the establishment of the Free Church League for Women's Suffrage, an organisation founded in 1909 with the aim of securing both the female vote and the admittance of women into the clergy.
