Lesley Northup has written extensively on the topic of ritualizing women and the horizontality of these rituals. Her scholarship has deeply influenced my thinking on this topic. See also her “Expanding the X-Axis: Women, Religious Ritual, and Culture,” in her anthology, Women and Religious Ritual (Washington, D.C.: Pastoral Press, 1993), and her “Claiming Horizontal Space: Women’s Religious Rituals,” Studia Liturgica 25, no. 1 (Spring 1995): 86-102.
