My family used to church hop between different protestant churches, and it was my mom who always ended up putting her foot down and deciding that a given congregation was not socially progressive enough for us. When we eventually landed in UU (we went to three different congregations), the congregations were always led by women. Women led study groups and held leadership positions at every level.

Men mostly in leadership, but the roshi was a woman. Lots of nice older ladies supported me at the Presbyterian.

my grandmother was the one who set the altar, while this is not a formal "leadership" position it was important in the day to day practice of religion and tradition

I grew up in a multi-denominational environment.  I had several family members both male and female as pastors.  I can't remember any time when women weren't given equal opportunities to serve their faith.

I did not grow up within a particular faith tradition, though my family went to church on a few occasions. I think the church was UCC and I do recall there being both a male and female minister. But again, these encounters were limited to once, maybe twice, per year before the age of ten. There were also women Sunday School teachers.

There were no women with leadership roles, except for in the Sunday schools and choir.
