Legislative Approaches To Reducing The Hegemony Of The Priestly Model Of Medicine, Nancy K. Kubasek
Legislative Approaches To Reducing The Hegemony Of The Priestly Model Of Medicine, Nancy K. Kubasek
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
This Article presents the case that the legal culture in many ways undergirds the priestly model's hegemony over the therapeutic relationship between a woman and her doctor. To the extent that law provides this fundamental support, it legitimizes the mistreatment of women, especially with respect to their reproductive health. The implications are that the movement toward a more just legal culture necessitates the extirpation of this support.

Manuscript of Women, Church, and State: Religion and the Culture of Individual Rights in Nineteenth-Century America
This draft comprises two sequential pieces of a work very much in progress. They are unreconstructed first drafts which represent an attempt to get primary sources down on paper; and to draw a philosophy of governance out of a wide range of materials from the woman's temperance movement, most of which do not purport to be formal or theoretical statements. The first describes how evangelical women developed theories of moral governance within the home; the second how they translated those precepts into canons of civil governance.
