Womens rights in Christianity?

Im doing a topic on Womens rights for school and I want to know what type of freedoms and restrictions that women have in the Christian church. Eg, like the Anglicans might have female pastors while the AOG church dint, stuff like that
What churches allow for women to become pastors/priests or to just have ordained jobs in the church, like deacons and elders? Thanx

It is all over the map. I shall give what I know of the Canadian situation:

Anglican: women have full, and complete rights in the Church. There is no distinction, other than there are orders of Anglican nuns, and also Anglican monks who are women/men respectively. There are some orders where you can be either. Outside Canada, some of the provinces of the Anglican communion have full participation, and some do not. Some allow very little role, and nothing ordained; some (like England) allow deacons and priests, and they are discussing the idea of female bishops. The first female Anglican priest was in Hong Kong, in 1944, although she eventually moved to Canada. She was rejected at first, and then Anglicans looked very seriously at the issue, and found no reason why women could not be in the church.

United Church of Canada (made up of Presbyterian, Methodist, and Congregationalists), full and equal rights.

Presbyterian: full rights

Evangelical Lutheran: full rights

Roman Catholic: nuns, and religious teachers. Not much else.

Orthodox, same as RC AFAIK.

I am not sure after that. Many fundamentalist Christians do not allow female pastors, or even teachers. However, I do not know exactly is the situation in each of them.

Incidently, in seminary, some of my fellow students presented papers on women in the early church. There were female deacons (some named in the Bible), priests, and even bishops. This was in part due to the "House Churches." Early Christians met in each others houses, and in the culture of the time (and still today in many Arab homes) it is the woman who is in charge within the home. So, it would be women leading these services in the homes. This changed over time, and withing about 200 years or so, women's roles were diminished, except in the Celtic church (Ireland, Wales, England, etc.) where a women in charge of a convent typically had a lot more power than the local bishop.
