Contents:
Illuminating a design, early American period (civil and church influences), early 20th century to Vatican II -- Braid, immediately post-Vatican II -- Mosaic, roles of women religious in the movement -- Circles, U.S. movement organizes -- Cross, clergy, Vatican teachings, hierarchy -- Centripetal lines, international influences on the U.S. movement -- Upward spiral, early and ongoing challenges.
Summary: Incompatible with God's Design is the first comprehensive history of the Roman Catholic women's ordination movement in the United States. Mary Jeremy Daigler explores how the focus on ordination and not merely "increased participation" in the life and ministries of the church has come to describe a broad movement. Greater in scope than organizations like the Women's Ordination Conference, this study addresses the broader context, looking also at the role of international and local groups.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-194) and index.
