Explores ways ritual, symbol, and dogma circumscribe, constrain, and empower women in African Instituted Churches (AICs)—new denominations founded by Africans sceptical of dogmas offered by mainstream churches with roots in European empires. It investigates the beliefs and practices associated with institutionalized female roles in three of the most important AICs.
