What is Womanist Theology?

The Christian Century defined Womanist Theology. It declares a future beyond the strongholds of injustice, sexism, and racism. It also described Womanist Theology as deeply grounded in the long, prolific history of black women’s traditions of survival, and thriving rituals, and fight against white racism and patriarchy,
