Abstract:
This study is an attempt to analyse Sefi Atta's novel Swallow (2010), from an Africana womanist perspective. The objective is to contribute a deeper and more unique understanding of the African woman’s experience. Additionally, it seeks to challenge the superficial labelling of S. Atta as merely a feminist, based on Western standards. The research adequately demonstrates the key features of Africana womanism that are effectively integrated by the female protagonists in Swallow. The traits of these womanists encompass authenticity, true affiliation via sisterhood, compatibility with males and a natural aptitude for mothering and caring. This study assesses the African woman’s struggle against patriarchal oppression and subjugation, aided by the doctrines of Africana womanism. The research highlights the importance of Africana womanism as an essential theoretical framework for evaluating women's experiences and accomplishments in African and African American literature, using the principles of Africana womanism.

Abstract:
African-American women have been inappropriately and unduly, stereotyped in various contrasting images as slaves post-slavery, wet nurses, super women, domestic helpers, mammies, matriarchs, jezebels, hoochies, welfare recipients, and hot bodies which discloses their repression in the United States of America. They have been showcased by both black men and white women in different ways quite contrary to their being in America. Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Gloria Naylor, Gayl Jones, Paule Marshall, Sonia Sanchez, Toni Cade Bambara, to name a few writers, have put forth the condition of black women through their works. They have shown the personality of many a black women hidden behind the veils of racism, sexism, classism and systemic oppression of different sorts. Walker coined the term Womanism in her 1984 collection of essays titled In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens: Womanist Prose. Womanism advocates consensus for black women starting with gender and proceeding over to race, ethnicity and class, with a universal outlook. Womanism offers a positive self-definition of the black woman’s self within gendered, historical, geographical, ethnic, racial and cultural contexts too. Walker’s novel The Temple of My Familiar 1989 is a womanist treatise putting forth the importance of womanist consciousness and womanist spirit. The novel is a tribute to the strength, endurance and vitality of black womanhood. The novel revolves around three pairs of characters and their lives to showcase the lives of African Americans and coloured population in America. The three couples namely Suwelo and Fanny, Arveyda and Carlotta, Lissie and Hal showcased in the novel, belong to different age groups and different, mixed ethnicities. Through them, Walker depicts the lives of marginalized population in America, and the umpteen trials they face for being who they are. Furthermore, this paper showcases how Womanism as a theory can really enliven the life of the black community, especially black women when put into practice.

Abstract The article charts the development of womanism as a movement which has presented an alternative to feminism. It advocates inclusiveness instead of exclusiveness, whether it is related to race, class or gender. Womanism provided political framework for colored women and gave them tools in their struggle with patriarchy which imposed restrictive norms and negative stereotypes on them. It also tackled the restrictiveness of feminism which was especially evident in the field of literary scholarship. Womanism is also related to new movements within feminism such as womanist theology and eco-feminism

Abstract:
Even though the concept of Womanism has roots in Black Feminism, still it can form some relevance and connection with Indian Feminism. Alice Walker (1944-) an African Black woman writer has positioned “Womanist/Womanism” in her critically acclaimed collection of essays, “In Search of Our Mother’s Gardens: Womanist Prose”. Roughly, in Post-Independence India, women’s active involvement in politics advances their positions. The proportion of women in the Indian Education System skyrocketed. Due to awareness, Indian women make decisions in the realms of social, economic, and religious issues as well. Now, women lawyers, activists, politicians, administrators, and others focus on the upliftment of women’s conditions in India. These give birth to women-specific organizations, acts, amendments, and laws. In Indian Feminism based on the above-discussed layouts, there have been three waves in the last eighty years. Indian Womanism can be one of the most significant segments of Indian Feminism of the contemporary era. The primary aim of the Researcher is to conceptualize Indian Womanism while unwrapping the palimpsest narrative of Prabha Khaitan’s autobiography named A Life Apart. The second contention is to situate Prabha Khaitan as the best possible exemplar of an Indian Womanist instead of an Indian Feminist in the background of A Life Apart: An Autobiography.

Abstract:
The research aims to probe into the womanism and relationship of women in Alice Walker’s novel, The Color Purple. Its central concern is to analyze the motive behind the intense and lesbian relationship of such leading female characters of the novel as Celie and Shug. The research tool taken to analyze why the chief characters of the novel prefer women’s culture and women’s emotional flexibility is ‘womanism’, a theory first popularized by Alice Walker herself, and queer theory of Judith Butler. The principal finding of the paper is that Celie, Shug, and other female characters of The Color Purple look womanish, that is make courageous, willful, and even lesbian relationship among themselves to display their strength and to resist being the commodities of men. The researchers intended to survey the female relationships and womanism in other works are expected to take the work as a reference.

Abstract:
The similitude that exists in the depiction of the major characters of pioneer Nigerian female writers (who are, incidentally, Igbo) tasks the mind as it reflects on a possible cause of this semblance. This paper located a double pronged characteristic that is shared by all the major characters in the works under study – one of beauty and gentle spirit. These features have a symbolic significance (Ọrara) in an Igbo sub-culture (Mbaise). Ọrara, a snake, is one of the symbols in Mbari representing feminine beauty and meekness in repressed strength – traits that womanism upholds. Text analysis, oral tradition and interviews provide points that aid the study of the relationship between these concepts – female characters, Ọrara and womanism. It is deduced that the identical characterization in the works of Igbo female writers - Nwapa’s Efuru and Idu; Emecheta’s The Joys of Motherhood and The Bride Price; and Okoye’s Behind the Clouds and Chimere - has its root in the writers’ re-creation of the real experiences of the ordinary woman in the Igbo society whose natural reactions to her plight gravitates more to the womanist than the feminist angle, producing traits that are similar to those of Ọrara. And while womanism is not new in relation to the study of the works of Igbo female writers, it has not been studied against a significant symbol in the Igbo tradition. Ọrara is, thus, seen as the ideological locus for womanism and may be put under further scrutiny to establish it as the muse of Igbo female writers. Key Words: Womanism, Characters, Beauty, Meekness, Symbol, Ọrara, Igbo.

Abstract To read Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s corpus of poetry, oratory, and political activism through the lens of feminism is to erase the Afrocentric logics of her rhetoric, but examining her work through the lens of Afrocentricity broadly obscures her radical views on the role of women in society. Africana womanism offers a paradigm through which one can analyze her rhetoric in a way that honors her Blackness and her womanhood—an ethic she insisted on throughout her life. This article elucidates the theory of Africana womanism and highlights evidence of Africana womanist thought in the rhetoric of Watkins Harper, deepening our understanding of women’s contributions to the organizing work and activism of nineteenth-century Black Americans.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Thomas H. Groome
In the United States and in the American Academy there is a historical reality much like jump rope. In jump rope there is but one rope, in the case of the U.S. there is one white, western, male Christian narrative-a rope that one jumps in on specific way. This can be very difficult for those that do not identify with or know how to jump this particular rope. Theological education has a unique opportunity to be a prophetic voice in advocating for the addition of a womanist rope in order to do Double-Dutch, together, regardless of difference. This rope is one that embraces a womanist consciousness as is advocates for the agency and identity formation of all, the lifting up and accountability of all persons, the freedom of embodiment and expression in all forms, and remains active and critical of injustice and all systems of oppression. Once this rope is added everyone can begin to engage in womanish modes of play that are embodied aesthetic experiences and cultural expressions that function as a means of knowing, being, and making meaning in this world. When all persons do Double-Dutch together play becomes a tool for learning and teaching religious education across differences

Abstract:
Researches on the image of women in religion and in literature are often a big topic in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The literary image of women are created or made by male authors ab initio because the orient, the birth place of the three religions, was dominated by patriarchy for a long time. Most male authors were writing patriarchal oriented stories, where women were degraded or demoted to second class beings. This brought about stereotypes, prejudices and a prior condemnation of woman, and men placed themselves in the centre of leading stories as well as in literary canons. On the one hand, men were writing about what they thought about women; their image of woman, however, hardly corresponded with what women thought about themselves. On the other hand they were abusing the religious feelings of women and exploited them. This work deals with further research on the concept of women in the above religions and on their fictional portraits in selected novels and stories of Heinrich Böll. The goal of this work is to find out the efforts of feminist literary scholars in their discovery of the lost stories about woman. Feminine identity is more strongly developed in Europe than in Africa. The European women have fought over the years, in order to liberate themselves from patriarchal oppression and subjectivity. That notwithstanding, there remains desiderata. As already mentioned an analysis of the history of women in the religions and in the cultures shows many examples of injustice, prejudice and discrimination. Hitherto in most religions (Christianity “Catholic Church”), Islam, Judaism and African Traditional Religion, women have no chance of leading as chief celebrant in the services. They could always undertake lower functions, but when it is about a higher office, there is always a boundary. My first Ph.D. research: “Women’s Experiences in Selected African Feminist Literary Texts (part of which was published under the title: “Women in World Religions and literatures” (Munster, imprint Verlag ISBN 978-3-936536-25-5), is preoccupied inter alia with this issue: It is an exercise in solidarity with the outsiders, the marginalized and oppressed of the society. Literature can be taken as a reflection of the happenings in the society. In this sense, fictional texts play big roles in the idea of the societal events and experiences. Heinrich Böll’s trend literature represents literary engagement. He remains close to the masses and the oppressed gender/sex. This solidarity with the masses brought him negative Press of the Mass Media as well as the persecutions of the government. Feminist literary writing on one side and feminist political engagement on the other side are of the same opinion that the image of women in the predominant male literatures turned out to be one sided, stereotyped and negative to the advantage of the domineering gender. The ultimate writing of women and feminist activists; be it the left-wing extremists, the liberals or the conservatives, is to fight against this situation: they look for the female identity in the society as well as in literature. Extreme feminist and chauvinist groups in Europe, America and partly in the Third World countries, have made a strong influence through their words and actions, such that the church and the society are bearing the brunt: marital crisis, decline in population, neglect of maternal duties, erosion of family and social values, suicides, running amok and the decline of moral and religious values. According to Böll, these experiences are as a result of the mass reaction of the feminine gender against the tyranny of masculine gender, the church and its supporters. However, such a reaction should not be exaggerated. At this juncture, the argument is between the womanists and the Western feminists. For my case study, I will like to bring in the following fictional works of Heinrich Böll: Die Verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum, Gruppen Bilm mit Dame, Ansichten eines Clowns and Frauen vor Flusslandschaft. The goal of this work is to proffer possible suggestions and to give some indication of a way forward towards the amelioration of the situation of women as shown by Böll. In order to achieve this goal, I prefer to apply the womanist theoretical frame-work as a solution that can be found in a multicultural society; a kind of recourse to the source (to nature, to the roots). One understands womanism as an ideology of African women, in which they see their interests as that of their children and husbands. Their needs are deeply rooted in the well-being of the community. In order to achieve their goal, African womanists prefer gender-supplement, dialogue and complementarities. Here, Complaints are rare, because the female Gender is part of an administrative system, which has a male and a female hierarchy and in which men and women share the power. When there is complaint, Dialogue and settlement is preferred to confrontation. Obviously, this method is social and historically based and therefore, is not contextual. The womanist method is originally African and considers man and women as complementary. The biological differences between the genders are as evident and undeniable as the need for their combined division of labour in the bearing of off-springs. Apparently, the genders should complement each other instead of confronting each other. In this context, no one is expected to talk about replacement, aping the other or pushing out the other. This world view exists also in Europe and only needs to be rediscovered. The image of the church and the society in Heinrich Böll’s work is womanist oriented, as exemplified by the themes and motives in his novels and stories like authority, love, moral and sexuality, the marry-able woman, the trinity of the female, aesthetic of the human, the pure lady, realism, humanism mercifulness and solidarity with the masses and the rejects. Here, we are quite far away from the l’art pour l’art trend. In these texts, that is the womanist literary texts, a hermeneutic contextual interpretation and aesthetics may not be applicable. As an African, I cannot afford the luxury of l’art pour l’art under the conditions shown above. Here one attempts therefore, to make certain German literature African. One may ask oneself: “How can one, with the above selected background, make the German authors accessible to the African recipients. Consequently, one tries to study how the African readers can read, understand and evaluate German literature – even when this has already been translated into English or French. In my own opinion, a womanist interpretation is step one in the arousing of interest of African recipients. This mediatory role should play the part of laying the foundation for literature readership – the reading of literature- being used as a means of mobilizing Africans to love German studies even at the University level. The question here is: if one wants to communicate to the Africans the feminist novels and stories of Böll, will it then be more appropriate and more result oriented to analyse these texts using womanism or the western feminism? In my own understanding, it is clear that womanism is more appropriate here. The above mentioned works of Böll, in my own opinion, belong to the trend literature Tendenzliteratur as well as the literature of ruins Trümmerliteratur, that is why it is more appropriate, to take them to Africans by means of womanism, an ideology that suites people who are in pains and whose spirits are wounded, and are been daily bruised by the Euro-Americans and their local collaborators – the so called ten percent of the contemporary African polity. In summary, it is worthy to say that Heinrich Böll proved his worth as a womanist in his literary creation. His male and female protagonists realized his vision of traditional community of people. The marriage between the church and the state constitutes or forms a great hindrance in the expected prophetic roles of the church in the society and the evils highlighted above. Religious structure should prevent paragraph-riding, materialism, casuistry, and hypocrisy from encroaching into their hierarchy and membership. Immediately after the Second World War, -1945, Böll himself experienced how inhuman and heartless the church was to the homeless and hungry population. The church committed the sin of conformity or should one say, she sinned by omission and by commission. Her meagre solidarity with the suffering masses – the women and the children and of course the men proved this.

Abstract:
Cette étude examine le canon littéraire d'Alice Walker et explore les différentes dimensions de sa philosophie du « womanism » par rapport à la double oppression des femmes noires américaines. Elle explore les liens qui peuvent émerger entre la politique et l'esthétique ainsi que l'impact des éléments autobiographiques sur l'œuvre de fiction. La première partie traite de la représentation fictive du mouvement des Droits Civiques dans Meridian (1976) et explore l'activisme politique de Walker pendant les années 1960. La deuxième partie se concentre sur l'analyse théorique du « womanism » et propose une étude de The Color Purple (1982) qui explore la violence conjugale dans la communauté noire et dépeint le poids de la solidarité féminine. Enfin, la troisième partie se penche sur le sujet controversé de la mutilation génitale des femmes (excision) et sa représentation dans Possessing the Secret of Joy (1992) et Warrior Marks (1993). En somme, les écrits de fiction de Walker affichent une interprétation significative des réalités politiques de l'oppression institutionnalisée entre les sexes, aux Etats-Unis et dans le monde
The purpose of this study is to examine Alice Walker's literary canon and to investigate the different dimensions of her womanist philosophy regarding the racial and gender oppression of African American women. This research explores the links that may emerge between politics and aesthetics as well as the impact of autobiographical elements on the work of fiction. It displays the weight of Walker's womanist contribution in black literature and her ability to offer new definitions of blackness and womanhood. The first part deals with the fictional representation of the Civil Rights Movement in Meridian (1976) and explores Walker's own political activism in the 1960s. The second part centers on a theoretical analysis of womanism and offers a study of The Color Purple (1982) which explores domestic violence in the black community. Finally, the third part delves into the controversial subject of Female Genital Mutilation and its representation in Possessing the Secret of Joy (1992). In sum, Walker's fictional writings display a significant interpretation of the political realities of institutionalized gender oppression in the USA and around the world

Abstract:

The Emancipation of Celie: The Color Purple as a womanist Bildungsroman

The purpose of this essay is to study The Color Purple as a Bildungsroman, focusing on the development of the protagonist, Celie. The Color Purple is related to both the traditional Bildungsroman and to the female Bildungsroman, but the essay shows that it can also be seen as a womanist Bildungsroman. Initially, Celie believes that being a woman inescapably means that she has to serve and obey men and she is oppressed by patriarchy. She is eventually introduced to another way of living by the strong female characters of Sofia and Shug who embrace her in a kind of sisterhood, which is vital for Celie as she has nothing else to help her liberate herself from the patriarchal values that keep her down. In conclusion, this essay shows how Celie has developed from being a young girl, forced to act in an adult way, into a woman who displays signs of all the criteria for having achieved a womanist development: she is grown up (not just acting as though she is), she is in charge of a business, a house and, in short, her life. She is serious, she has a universalist perspective, and most importantly, she loves. Furthermore, the essay highlights which characteristics of her development can be linked to the traditional and the female Bildungsroman and which characteristics can be seen as typical of a womanist Bildungsroman.

Abstract:
Islam did not limit the status and role of women in society. On the contrary ، it preserved her status and dignity in the Islamic society. And he hears her complaint about her husband to our Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, in Surat Al-Mujadalah: ((Allah indeed knows the plea of her who pleads with you about her husband and complains to Allah ، and Allah knows the contentions of both of you; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing)). Our history is replete with the names of many women who influenced various social, political, scientific and even military fields, and the figures are multiple and unbroken in Islamic history. And Sukaina Bint AlHussein, may God be pleased with them, and many others, so shedding light on the status of women and their role throughout history is a reason to trace their traces in order to achieve the status and empowerment of women in our present time by studying the biography of the previous prominent women who were immortalized by their great deeds in various fields of life. In light of the foregoing, tracing the path of female followers in the field of jurisprudence and Sharia and what they presented in this field is a religious, moral and academic duty for specialists in the fields of Sharia and Islamic history. Therefore, choosing the personality of the venerable follower, Amra bint Abd al-Rahman bin Zarara, to be the focus of this research comes in the context of what has been discussed above, especially since she is one of the women who gave their lives in the narration of the noble hadith of the Prophet from its primary sources. Abu Bakr, may God be pleased with her, and her companion, as she also narrated on the authority of the wife of the Holy Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, the lady Umm Salamah, may God be pleased with her, and also narrated on the authority of the companion Rafi bin Khadij, and narrated on the authority of the great companion Umm Hisham bint Haritha bin Al-Numan, may God be pleased with her, and she spared no effort in establishing The value of women as an important part of the human society in general and the Islamic society in particular, and with what she presented, may God have mercy on her, from the narration of the honorable hadith of the Prophet, he made her a trustworthy narrator because she was associated with Mrs. Aisha, may God be pleased with her, so she was described as the jurist scholar and the proof

Foreit, James R. Postabortion family planning benefits clients and providers. Population Council, 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh16.1006.

Full text
Abstract:
A woman’s fertility can return quickly following an abortion or miscarriage, yet recent data show high levels of unmet need for family planning (FP) among women who have been treated for incomplete abortion. This leaves many women at risk of another unintended pregnancy and in some cases subsequent repeated abortions and abortion-related complications. It is thus vital for programs to provide a comprehensive package of postabortion care (PAC) services that includes medical treatment, FP counseling and services, and other reproductive health services such as evaluation and treatment for sexually transmitted infections, HIV counseling and/or testing, and community support and mobilization. Providing FP services within PAC benefits clients and programs. Facilities that can effectively treat women with incomplete abortions can also provide contraceptive services, including counseling and appropriate methods. As stated in this brief, any provider who can treat incomplete abortion can also provide selected FP methods. Clients, providers, and programs benefit when FP methods are provided to postabortion clients at the time of treatment.

Knapp, Carolyn. HIV and partner violence: What are the implications for voluntary counseling and testing? Population Council, 2001. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/hiv2001.1011.

Full text
Abstract:
Millions of women around the world face two great threats to their health and well-being: HIV/AIDS and violence by an intimate partner. One of the strongest associations between the two is the role that violence and the threat of violence play in limiting a woman’s ability to negotiate safer sex with a partner. A similar fear of violence also discourages women who receive HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) from telling partners about test results. This study explored the links between HIV infection, serostatus disclosure, and partner violence among women attending a VCT clinic in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Researchers began with a qualitative research phase with VCT clients at the Muhimbili Health Information Center. In the second phase, researchers interviewed women who had been tested and counseled three months earlier. The details in this brief show that while there is considerable fear of a partner’s reaction, there is little evidence from HIV-positive or HIV-negative women surveyed that serostatus disclosure frequently leads to physical violence.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents a systematic overview of the evidence of violence against women in the Central America, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, and Dominican Republic region and examines its impact on the well-being of women and their children. Population-based surveys show that violence against women remains a widespread issue in the region. The proportion of women who have experienced physical or sexual violence at least once in their lifetime varies between 13% and 53%; Panama has the lowest rate while Mexico and El Salvador have the highest. The percentage of women who have experienced violence within private spheres ranges between 17% and 24%. Also, homicidal violence targeting women remains a major problem in the region. Using a novel propensity score reweighting technique, we assess the impact of violence on a series of outcome variables related to a womans health and socioeconomic condition. We find evidence that violence against women negatively affects victims reproductive and physical health as well as their fertility preferences. We also find evidence that violence against mothers has an adverse effect on childrens advancement in school and overall health.
