Abstract
Traces the gender elements of white supremacy to radical shifts in attitudes towards nature, especially the transition from sustainable farming communities to agriculture purely for profit. Looks at the roles of women in healing, and the particular gender conflicts that arose with the rise of modernity and the battles of the present, especially women’s bodily autonomy, and battles against patriarchal domination in all periods.
