I have greatly benefitted from reading people who are different than me. This includes the voices of women. This is a bibliography of Feminist and Womanist voices in biblical interpretation and theology. I have NOT read everything in this list. I HAVE read some of it. This is primarily a place for me to continually update as I become aware of more and more books and resources that are available in this important and growing field of study. May you be blessed.
