Home›Religious Founders, Prophets & Reformers›Gender›FemaleBrowse ByFemaleThis page groups historical religious figures by gender, letting a visitor separate, for example, the women prophets and mystics a tradition recorded from the men. Wikipedia defines gender as "the range of social, psychological, cultural, and behavioral aspects of being a man (or boy), woman (or girl), or portraying a third gender." Many traditions recorded far fewer women in positions of religious authority, so this grouping also shows that imbalance directly.FactsFemaleConnectionsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonPrimary Academic DisciplineWell-attestedComparative Religion 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHistorical Figures 1FemaleFilter Results25 entriesTraditionAllBahá’í Faith (1)Christianity (5)Goddess Movement (1)Kongo Religion (1)Latter Day Saint Movement (1)New Thought (5)HistoricityAllHistorically attested (25)Member OfAllPTL Club (1)Trinity Broadcasting Network (1)In GroupAllAfrican and African Diaspora Tradition Founders (2)Baha'i Founders and Forerunners (1)Christian Reform and Anabaptist Founders (1)East Asian New Religion Founders (3)Latter Day Saint Movement Founders (1)Native American and Indigenous Tradition Founders (1)Neopagan and Wiccan Founders (2)New Age, Esoteric and Theosophical Founders (9)Protestant and Evangelical Founders (3)Revered InAllBaha'i Faith (1)Christianity (7)Manner Of DeathAllDied of natural causes (1)Disputed (1)Executed (2)Office HeldAllSenior pastor, Angelus Temple, Los Angeles (1)NationalityAllAngola (1)Germany (1)Holy Roman Empire (Historical) (1)Iran (1)Japan (2)Russia (1)South Africa (1)United Kingdom (1)United States (15)BrowseCompareSelect all 25Aimee Semple McPhersonFemaleAnne HutchinsonFemaleArgula von GrumbachFemaleChristina GrofFemaleDeguchi NaoFemaleEllen G.
