“In this paper, I use a loose analogy of microbiological systems in the human body to argue for the significance of the horizontal or less visible systems of power within religious organizations, and by extension the significance of women’s influence within formally patriarchal religions. The particular case study of Mormon women, both historically and in the present, in diverse global contexts, powerfully demonstrates how even the most hierarchically oriented collective religious projects depend on other powerful systems to survive and thrive.” [Author]
