Abstract
It is remarkable that twenty years ago African American women in the American Academy of Religion (AAR) and the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) decided to carve out living space as womanists. Our experience as doc toral students and the liberation wisdom of 1985 encouraged it. A lot of the credit belongs to Cheryl Townsend Gilkes, who served as the first national con vener of the Womanist Approaches to Religion and Society group of the AAR, members of which also meet before the annual AAR meeting in a group re ferred to as the Womanist Consultation.' Gilkes presented us with a laudable goal-the crafting of programmatic strategies that would ensure lasting partic ipation in bringing our education, talents, and imagination to bear in the wider world.
