(Anyone interested in gender in the ancient world will also find helpful sources on what the ancient world thought of women from (not limited to Gnosticism) medical, philosophical, and theological points of view. This sounds very dry, but what educated men and governors thought women were had a great impact on what women could be.)
Although these papers are technical essays for fellow specialists they have the advantage of being very specific: they hew closely to the texts under discussion, keep in mind which Gnostic school produced those texts (and when), and are not given to the casual generalizations which mar too many discussions of women in ancient religions.
An important and too-little read contribution to the history of women in Religion and the study of women in Gnosticism, in general. (In texts densely populated with female characters and figures, obsessed with Sophia and Eve, the topic comes up far more seldom in the study of Gnosticism than one might hope.)
Recommended, if regrettably heavy reading for interested non-specialists.
