Ben Witherington's blog today (www.benwitherington.blogspot.com) set me on to an New York Times article this morning of interest:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/26/us/26clergy.html
The article indicates that 51% of current individuals in divinity school are women. It also indicates that in their second decade of ministry, most women pastors do not move on to larger congregations. It also mentions the decline in women ministers among many groups like the Wesleyans that historically ordained them last century.

Thanks for that... I'm especially interested in the related trend toward couple-ministers where both the women and man are ordinaed... also a major trend that has had too-little deep thinking on. I'll stay tuned.
