Sensational! Well, I have to admit, I did hesitate a bit over the title.
I tried to collect as many examples as I could of women in the West who performed sacramental acts in The Hidden History, but you might check out references in the East as well. The bibliography in my book could get you started. There is also good material on women who acted as bishops if you are interested in administration as well. I can provide more information offline if you wish.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Following on Karl's suggestion, you might want to look at Gary Macy's new
book The Hidden History of Women's Ordination from Oxford. Despite the
sensational title, there is a good discussion of the issue.
