• Christianity in America has had a gender paradox for a long time. Female church adherents have been predominant in the churches, but males have dominated church leadership. As women female clergy rapidly increased their numbers during the 1970s, however, but the history of female leadership in Christianity is not monolithic. By focusing upon on a the historically nationwide American Methodism as a case study, this thesis discusses how female religious leadership has historically changed and developed throughout the history of American religious society.The previous studies after the 1970s have argued that women's religious individual experience has changed and developed female religious leadership. Through examining the American Methodist history, this thesis clarifies that three factors - individual experience, the institutionalized Methodist system, and interactions between Methodist women and feminism in secular society - have diversified and developed American Methodist women's religious leadership.
