"Those who care and nurture cannot be separated permanently and completely from those who teach, preach, and lead. Stoltzfus writes movingly about creative, frugal, talented, wise, Lancaster Conference Mennonite women. I recognized in these stories my own mentors and sisters. Give this book to some young woman with stars in her eyes." —Shirley Hershey Showalter, President, Goshen College

"Wondrous ironies abound in these accounts of women who exercised their gifts as leaders in a community requiring submission. Written respectfully, these stories nevertheless reveal the dilemma women experience when God asks one thing and the church prescribes another. Quiet Shouts offers evidence of extraordinary grace in the lives of several generations of gifted women. An inspiring collection."—Lee Snyder, President, Bluffton College

"This long-overdue book tells the fascinating story of the role of Mennonite women leaders throughout the twentieth century. Writing in engaging and crisp fashion, Stoltzfus uncovers the significant contributions of women who labored tirelessly in the shadows. A welcome contribution." —Donald B. Kraybill, Provost, Messiah College
