Stories of white and black religious women in Africa are told in a narrative fashion. Methodological essays are included which look critically at the question whether faith has two genders. Methods are offered on how to free women's historiography from the gender trap. However, this book does not offer gender and religion as the only two categories for interpreting the stories of religious women. Communicative skills, intelligence and physical adaptability are but a few of the aspects of being female and religious which are explore.
