Give the scriptures which support the ordination of women.?

I asked a previous, similar question about the reasoning behind why some churches ordain women. Most people could only cite Women's Lib, new social norms, or cry about how churches are going astray. Seriously, the churches who decided to ordain women must have used scripture to make their decision, so what did they use? The Methodist Church first ordained women in 1880, the Presbyterian church ordained its first woman in 1893, and the Lutheran church in Sweden started ordaining women in 1958, so it is not Women's Liberation or social norms driving this change.
