Grace Sintim-Adasi is one such scholars whose voice has been raised through research and writing. Grace identifies inequalities in ecclesiastical and the academic spaces between men and women especially in the area of leadership and promotion, which is influenced heavily by the socio-cultural perceptions of Ghanaians. This chapter will examine the works of Grace Sintim-Adasi, by examining the contexts underlying her publications and what approaches she has employed in bringing out her main arguments. The paper will also identify the sources the matriarch has used by examining field case studies and her collaborations with other scholars. The paper will then highlight how Adasi has addressed patriarchy in religious and academic spaces and the way forward for the future for ordained women and women academics.engGrace Sintim-AdasiThe Circleordained womenwomen leadershipchurch leadership230bookpart
