This volume reaffirms the fact that religion and culture often serve as a double-edged sword, that is, they can either obstruct or enrich African women’s flourishing. Drawing insights from African women’s experiences of religion and culture, the authors proffer gender sensitive and life-giving applications of African religio-cultural traditions.
