What does the Bible Teach about Women in the Church?

Paul made a few statements about women in his letters which have often been misinterpreted to either suppress the role of women in the church or to label the bible as sexist. For example,
1 Corinthians 14:34-36
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
The context of the chapter here is vital to understanding what Paul is actually saying here.
