Womanist Theology
Womanist theology, developed by African American women (Delores Williams, Katie Geneva Cannon), addresses the triple oppression of racism, sexism, and classism, centering Black women's experience.
Real World
Delores Williams's 1993 book Sisters in the Wilderness used the story of Hagar — an enslaved Black woman in Genesis — to articulate how African American women's survival and resistance mirrors their own historic experience of triple oppression within American Christianity.
Exam Focus
Name Williams or Cannon explicitly and link their method to a specific biblical text; vague references to 'womanist theologians' will not gain top AO1 marks.
