Within this discourse is also Africa n feminism. Its development is associated with concepts such as "womanism" (Walker 1983, Ogunyemi 1985, Kolawale 1997), "Africana womanism" (Hudson-Weems 1993), "Motherism" (Acholonu 1995), "Stiwanism" (Ogundipe-Leslie 1994), "negofeminism" (Nnaemeka 1995), "femalism", "Black feminism" (Kohrs-Amissah 2002) and "gender activism and femalism". The main concern here appears to be the creating of spaces for women to participate in the management of their society through access to key resources such as education, health and housing. The sheer size of Africa and the complexities of issues in different regions makes it difficult to depict a single African feminism. Among other things, the debate here has two faces: those who call themselves feminist and those who do not. Other common thoughts are that there is no problem working with men, that women need not neglect their biological roles, and that motherhood is idealised. SEE ALSO
