“Womanism is committed to the wholeness and flourishing of the entire community.”
Wilda C. Gafney, Womanist Midrash: A Reintroduction to the Women of the Torah and the Throne

“Feminine language occurs in the text repeatedly of God; this means that feminists and womanists advocating for inclusive and explicitly feminine God-language are not changing but restoring the text and could be considered biblical literalists.”
Wilda C. Gafney, Womanist Midrash, Volume 1: A Reintroduction to the Women of the Torah and the Throne
