I guess some of the theological students on here would be able to help with that. I recently read this brilliant article, which is worth a look re women's place in 1st century Christianity.
Bellan-Boyer, Lisa, ‘Conspicuous in Their Absence: Women in Early Christianity’, Cross Currents, v53 i1, Spring 2003, p48(17).
In this article, Bellan-Boyer brilliantly reconstructs women’s place in early Christianity, and blames male leaders for sacrificing women’s religious rights in order to construct a unified church.

There's a book called New Testament Times by Merrill C. Tenney that I have been using as a background reference for a New Testament Survey course I'm taking. It looks pretty interesting, and I'm eventually hoping to find time to read the entire thing.
Amazon has it HERE.
