Since 2 April 2011 when Linda Bond became the third woman General of the Salvation Army, the section headed 'Role of Women' has become inaccurate.
It should now read:
"Women ministers are now common in many Protestant churches, but before Booth appointed women as Officers (following the example of his feminist wife Catherine), it had been completely unheard of.
Even today, the Salvation Army is unusual in having been led not once, but three times, by women."
It would also be appropriate to add the following clarification..
"Though on each occasion these women had remained unmarried - if they had been married it would normally have been their male spouses that would have been promoted."

The link to William Booth should be updated to point to the new edited article on h2g2, viz:
History
It is generally accepted that the Salvation Army began in 1865 in London's East End, though it wasn't known by that name until much later. Its founder (a Methodist minister called William Booth<LINK> didn't actually start out to form a new denomination.
