Each submission was read and incorporated into this final product. Gratitude abounds for their generosity and candor. The writing committee is largely responsible for the form and con- tent of this book. Special thanks go to readers who improved the early draft of this book with their astute critiques and helpful addi- tions: Laurie Wright Garry, Julie Kilmer, Rachel Magdalene, Heather McKay, Jacqueline Pastis, Judith Plaskow, Rosetta Ross, Susanne Scholz, Gwendolyn Zohara Simmons, Ilene Stanford, and Kerry Wynn. Jane Webster contributed important material on topics related to the Society of Biblical Literature. Rita Nakashima Brock added the voice of experience on many pages. Shannon Planck brought an American Academy of Religion perspective to bear. Appreciation flows to Judith Plaskow and Rita Nakashima Brock’s Committee on the Status of Women in the Profession of the American Academy of Religion. They started this process more than a decade ago and produced the Guide to the Perplexing: A Survival Manual for Women in Religious Studies, the forerunner to this volume. Equal grat- itude goes to the current committee members: Rebecca Alpert, Mary C. Churchill, Janet Jakobsen, Sarah Heaner Lancaster, Karen Pechilis, and Gwendolyn Zohara Simmons, who saw the importance of keep- ing the process going. Special thanks are due to the Committee Chair, Rebecca Alpert, and to Shannon Planck, the AAR Staff Liaison, who shepherded the early part of the process with style. Publishing colleagues helped to direct this book to its eventual home at Palgrave. Elizabeth Castelli, Pamela Johnson, Frank Oveis, and Gayatri Patnaik provided invaluable expertise. Palgrave editor Amanda Johnson offered smart ideas and effective technical assis- tance. To all of them a grand thank you for demonstrating that femi- nist work in religion is worth promoting.
