In 1973, Marabel Morgan published the phenomenally successful evangelical marriage manual Total Woman. Morgan has always insisted that she had no political intention in publishing this book, but its traditionalist vision of marital roles meant that she was very quickly drawn into contemporary arguments about gender, family, and feminism. The boundaries of the political realm were shifting in the 1970s, as Morgan’s experience demonstrates. This chapter traces the mid-twentieth-century development of a national evangelical women’s subculture that produced figures like Morgan and disseminated conservative ideas about gender and family in the purportedly apolitical venues of marital advice, women’s magazines, and inspirational conferences.

Marital Roles

This study is a partial replication of an earlier study by Davis who studied the dimensions of marital roles in consumer decision-making in the planned purchase of two major consumer goods – automobiles and furniture. The original study was conducted in the late 1960s in Chicago whereas this study examines husband-wife roles in consumer family decisions in the Indian context (for the same products – automobiles and furniture). Despite significant differences in the timing of the two studies and also in the cultural and social contexts in India and the US, this study finds the pattern of relative influence of husband and wife in important purchase decisions to be essentially similar to that of Davis.

AbstractDrawing upon interviews with readers in Ghana and Nigeria as well as a large number of locally published marriage guidance pamphlets, this article considers attitudes toward the printed word among Christian readers in West Africa. Gender is an especially significant category in West African 'how-to' books, particularly those produced by Pentecostal and evangelical authors. While the majority of male authors try to reinstate Pauline strictures on wifely submission in their writing, the female authors discussed in this article make use of biblical quotation alongside romantic discourse in order to reconfigure both men's and women's marital roles. In so doing, they construct marital utopias which reveal a great deal about the contradictions and paradoxes of contemporary Christian gender ideologies in West Africa.
