Early Church Fathers - Women in Leadership

In the origins of christianity, women were absolutely foundational to the ministry of jesus. Widows and virgins were two particular titles for women that were the actual positions of leadership in the early church. There were orders of female presbyters. And as so these two categories of women where given a particular perspective of esteem by the early Church. We clearly see diversity im in those in the first century. After the first century, i lose a little momentum on my knowledge.
