Billed as a women’s growth and development group, members of DOS (which the women later learned stood for “dominant over submissive”) took on what they understood to be metaphorical roles of “masters” and “slaves.” Members, almost all of whom were led to believe that the group had no male involvement, practiced and endured various forms of subjugation, believing it would empower them to become “masters” of their own lives.
