Frustration
I am officially frustrated with book writers. I have been on the search for a biography (or auto) on a woman in church history or women's ministries. Not the wife of a pastor, missionary, or historical figure (like First Lady). I needed it for a class. I ended up ordering a book on Susanna Wesley (mother of John Wesley) and can find a way to tie it in but it isn't what I wanted. I know that there are women who are (and have been) involved in church leadership in roles other than pastor. So where are the books? There are many women who are involved in women's ministries like Elizabeth George, Beth Moore, etc but they seem to be to young to have biographies yet. Maybe I have found a calling or maybe I have just found a rant;).

I will post on a book chat list I am on with a lot of Christian women/homeschool moms, they may know of a book for you (at least just to answer the question, even if it is too late for your class).
But don't you think this is a bigger issue of women in the past not being written about much?

I'm reading a book called, "Leaving Church: A Memoir of Faith" by a priest, Barbara Brown Taylor. You might try it.

I just came back from a three day retreat, the Catholic priest was taking the life of this woman in Rwanda who survived the gonocide living inside a bathroom during 7 month, and how she manage to pray and forgive. We all found it amaizing. I will start reading it soon:
By the New York Times best-author of Left to tell, IMMACULEE ILIBAGIZA with Steve Erwin, "Led by Feith". Rising from the Ashes of the Rwandan Genocide.
