Through reflection on first-person narratives of a range of women involved in leadership positions in Catholic ministries (social justice, LCWR and religious congregations, educational, media, diocesan, NGOs, etc.), Rising examines the range of leadership roles that women play in the Catholic Church, explores the particular challenge that women face, as well their distinctive styles of leadership, while also pointing toward an expanded understanding of ministry and leadership in the church. The contributors represent a broad range of women in leadership positions, ranging from the conservative Becket Fund, to Sr. Simone Campbell, Kerry Robinson, Kerry Weber (America media), Sr. Carol Keehan (Catholic Health Association), Kim Daniels (staff for USCCB), etc.

Leadership in the Catholic Church is often identified with sacramental ministry. On that basis it is widely perceived that women have no influence in the Church. Yet, as this book shows, women in fact occupy a range of leadership roles across the landscape of Catholic ministries, from the parish and diocesan level to national organizations in the field of education, healthcare, communications, and social service. Sixteen of their stories are featured, tracing the challenges many of them have faced along the way (including clericalism). The book also highlights the gifts and experience that women often bring, thus imparting lessons that pertain to every person called to leadership in the church.
