> I vaguely remember seeing some PBS special were they interviewed a Dr of
> Theology from Boston College about her new book _The God of Thinness_. She
> explained that in the MA, men could donate land, goods and money to the
> Church in order to be seen as pious and good Christians. Women only had
> power (albeit limited) over their own bodies. In order to be seen as
> pious and good Christians, women fasted. I probably saw this three yrs
