  1. “People don’t come in Asking for the Gospel, They come in for a Pregnancy Test!” Feminizing Evangelism in Crisis Pregnancy Centers.Kendra Hutchens - 2022 - Gender and Society 36 (2):165-188.
    Led by women, faith-based pregnancy centers constitute the largest segment of the movement to oppose abortion in the United States.

    Drawing on an ethnographic study of Roman Catholic sisters in the Democratic Republic of Congo, I show how women in the Global South draw on religious imagery to redefine cultural ideals of womanhood and family responsibility. By taking the religious vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, the Congolese sisters I interviewed seemingly betray local expectations regarding women’s responsibility to reproduce and repair the clan. Although sisters’ vows subject them to social ridicule for violating cultural expectations to bear children and support (...)
