women preachers

Ladies delivering sermons

Women preachers are female clergy who deliver sermons and lead religious services.

The term often appears in debates about whether women should occupy pulpit roles, with some Christian denominations ordaining women fully and others restricting preaching to men: The church's stance on women preachers has divided the congregation.

The phrase itself signals that the speaker considers gender relevant to the role.
