Women in Traditional African Religion

This is a small snippet from a larger scholarly article. http://www.mamiwata.com/women.html

"With few exceptions African Societies have been described from a masculine perspective. However, a feminine perspective on women’s' roles in traditional religion can be richly illuminating .  This paper will therefore focus on the possibility of a feminine image of deity in African traditional religions and the functions of women, in a world which is fundamentally masculine."
