Two widely used and acclaimed textbooks—Her Story and Readings in Her Story—are here combined and supplemented with creative and helpful pedagogical tools. Her Story, "a fast-paced, readable introduction to the status of women in Christian history from Bible time to the present (Robert T. Handy), is an excellent brief survey. Its companion, Readings in Her Story, has been called "the best collection of primary texts about women in Christianity available" (Betty A. DeBerg), with 74 key documents directly keyed to the chapters in the first book.

Utilizing Libronix’s state-of-the-art software, the CD-ROM will enhance use of the volumes by bringing them together in a completely searchable text; and MacHaffie has composed questions and chapter summaries to guide the reader into the material, reflection questions, a hyperlinked glossary, additional bibliographies and updates, research-paper suggestions, and Weblinks to additional graphics, biographies, and bibliographies. The software also includes notetaking, bookmarking, and highlighting capabilities.
