If it Wasn't for the Women: Black Women's Experience and Womanist Culture in Church and Community
Cheryl Townsend Gilkes
These collected essays examine the roles of women in their churches and communities, the implication of those roles for African American culture, and the tensions and stereotypes that shape societal responses to these roles. Gilkes examines the ways black women and their experience shape the culture and consciousness of the black religious experience, and reflects on some of the crises and conflicts that attend this experience.
