The access of women to ordained ministries (episcopate, priesthood, and diaconate) has been the subject of intense debate for several decades in both the Church of England and the Catholic Church, with markedly different outcomes. This paper seeks, first, to approach this debate from a comparative and transnational perspective, highlighting the connections between both Churches regarding this issue. Secondly, it examines, through oral history, the process of identity construction among Anglican and Catholic women in England and Spain who have either been able to become priests or have aspired to do so without achieving it.
