What is the reality of being African, woman, and Christian? In this collection of original essays, African women theologians write about the life and dreams, the sorrows and joys of African women in a continet where religion shapes the whole of life. The first two parts of the book describe the role of women in terms of culture, rite of passage, and daily life. Attitudes toward birhting and namign, marriage and widowhood, polygamy, prostitution, and death are all explored. The third part focusses on the church, reviewing biblical attitudes toward women, and showing how African women can and should contribute to the life of the Christian church.
