As far as I know the only "major" (and by this I mean a membership that is in the millions) denomination that doesn't ordain women is the Southern Baptists.

Apaprently, many Baptists also ordian women. I am not a Wikipedia fan, but this is what it says:

"The Baptist Churches in Germany and Switzerland (Bund Evangelisch-Freikirchlicher Gemeinden, Bund Schweizer Baptistengemeinden) ordain women.

The Southern Baptist Convention does not support the ordination of women; however, some churches that are members of the SBC have ordained women.

Cooperative Baptist Fellowship churches actively encourage and ordain women to ministry, including as pastors.

Baptist groups in the United States that do ordain women include American Baptist Churches USA, North American Baptist Conference, Alliance of Baptists, Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) and Progressive National Baptist Convention."
