Criminalized Women and Twelve Step Programs
Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous hold a uniquely institutionalized status within the United States correctional system. Twelve Step meetings are held in rehabilitation and detoxification programs and inside prisons; Courts often mandate Twelve Step participation for parolees; and women who have been under correctional supervision may need to show proof of attending Twelve Step meetings in order to regain custody of their children. Dra…
Gender overdetermination and resistance
This article explores the notion of gender overdetermination in relation to a community of criminalised women in Massachusetts. Re-examining classic writings on overdetermination by Louis Althusser, Sigmund Freud, Frantz Fanon and Jean-Paul Sartre, we query the notion of gender overdetermination and posit it as an effective lens for thinking about the persistence of gender as a social construct. The combination of the structural processes of over…

Holistic sickening
This paper introduces the concept of holistic sickening to the sociological literature on illness narratives. Drawing on interviews with 46 Boston-area complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) practitioners who treat breast cancer patients, we found that the CAM practitioners redefine their patients' breast cancer diagnoses in ways that expand and transform their illness, sometimes into a lifetime journey. The practitioners, for the most part…
Prologue
The articles that comprise this special issue make a convincing case for the importance of anthropological research in the field of gender and religion. Based upon the work of a panel presented at the 2002 annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association, these articles demonstrate the anthropological facility for moving back and forth between ‘great traditions' and local conditions. In different ways and in different contexts, these ar…

Women of the Sacred Groves
Although most historical and contemporary religions are governed by men, there are, scattered throughout the world, a handful of well-documented religions led by women. Most of these are marginal, subordinate, or secondary religions in the societies in which they are located. The one known exception to this rule is the indigenous religion of Okinawa, where women lead the official mainstream religion of the society. In this fieldwork-based study, …
Women Pilgrims And Woman Saints
The three most widespread cults of women saints in Israel revolve around figures named Rachel. Although each of these Rachels originated in a different historical period (one is Biblical, one is Talmudic, and one is modern), all three cults attract women pilgrims who come looking for understanding. This paper suggests that women saints tend to fill very particular and narrow niches in patriarchal cultures, irrespective of the origin myths associa…
Women in New Religions
You Are a Number, Not a Human Being
In the course of interviews with Israeli women who had recently been treated for breast cancer, we found that our informants tended to offer us "treatment narratives" rather than, or sometimes in addition to, the "illness narratives" made famous by Arthur Kleinman. For the women we interviewed, treatment narratives constitute verbal platforms on which to explore what it means to be human during a period in which one's body, spirit, and social ide…
Symbolic illnesses, Real Handprints, and Other Bodily Marks
Okinawan kaminchu priestesses and yuta (shaman-type practitioners) describe histories of illness on the path to accepting their religious roles. These illness narratives fit a socially recognizable formula for women religious leaders, a formula that shows the Okinawan listener that the teller is a legitimate religious leader. The types of illness, however, are quite different. Priestesses typically report minor illnesses that involve some type of…
