Women were allowed to be ordained as priests in the Anglican Church starting in 1994, when the first women were officially ordained in the Church of England.

Other denominations, like the United Methodist Church and the Episcopal Church, also allow women to serve as priests and ministers, with varying timelines for their ordination.
Describe one important difference between Roman Catholic and Anglican priests?
Easy, Catholic clergy are bishops, priests, and deacons who have been ordained into the sacrificial priesthood of Christ through the Apostolic succession, and thus carry Our Blessed Lord's mandate to minister to His people. Anglican clergy are protestants who lost apostolic succession and do not have a proper sacrificial priesthood.

Can a deacon become a priest?
In most Churches that have the threefold order (deacons, priests and bishops), like the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Churches, most deacons are ordained priests after one year being a deacon. However, some elect to remain as permanent deacons as this is where they believe their calling lies. Also, in the Roman Catholic Church married men are allowed to become deacons but are not, as yet, allowed to become priests (although some Catholic priests are now married - such as married Anglican priests who have moved to the Roman Catholic Church)> therefore, for married men the diaconate is the only order open to them and they remain deacons permanently.

Where do Anglican priests live and what title is given to the regional leader?
Anglican priests usually live in their own homes or, if the parish they serve has a parsonage, the priest and his family may choose to live there. The great majority of Anglican priests are married and live with their families. There are Anglican monasteries; however, the residents of a monastery are referred to as monks. A region of Anglican parishes is known as a Diocese and the head of a Diocese is called a Bishop. The head Bishop over all of the Anglican Bishops in a given country is called the Presiding Bishop and the head of all Anglicans, worldwide, is the Archbishop of Cantebury.
Are Anglican ministers required to marry?
Yes. There is absolutely no restriction on marriage for both female or male priests in the Anglican Church. My wife has been an Anglican priest since 2001 and I am due to be ordained a priest in 2012. Within the Anglican Church even homosexual priests (both male and female) are allowed to be in a civil partnership. However, the diocesan bishop sponsoring them for ordination must be satisfied that the partnership is for non-sexual reasons (eg so that a surviving partner inherits as next of kin on the death of the other partner) and that the relationship between them, though loving, is non-sexual.

In the Roman Catholic Church, it is required that a priest be celibate. This is to keep the priest from being distracted from doing God's will as a priest. However, if an Anglican or Orthodox priest who is married converts to Catholicism he is able to become a Catholic priest and keep his wife. In the Eastern Catholic Church though, the priests are allowed to marry though. Lutheran and Episcopalian Priests are allowed to marry as well.
