Abstract
In this paper, I investigate feminist approaches to Protestant hymnody since the nineteenth century. First, I present a historical background of gender in religion, music, and business. Then, I explore how women contribute to hymnody through inclusive language and introduction of new themes. I focus on hymn writers Ruth Duck and Mary Louise Bringle, champions of the religious inclusivity movement. Lastly, I consider how the field of hymn writing is progressing toward more complex issues and what this means for women in church.
