Akande, Lydia BosedeLydia BosedeAkande2024-02-052024-02-052023978-3-86309-963-3https://fis.uni-bamberg.de/handle/uniba/93240One of the matriarchs of feminist literature is Oyeronke Olademo, a Professor of Comparative Religious Studies. The methods and theories of liberation she has projected over the decades are worthy of study. This paper will examine among other factors, the contexts that informed her work and the sources she used to elaborate her theories of liberation. It will examine the feminist thrust of Oyeronke Olademo as a voice that has advocated women’s contributions and advances in the area of religion. The approach used in this work is feminist liberation theology, while the methods are historical, descriptive, and qualitative. A cursory observation of her major works indicates that her focus is in the area of women’s leadership roles in a male-dominated environment, both in Nigeria and in the diaspora. Her perception of the leadership role of women across the various strata of human existence is therefore worthy of mention. This work concludes by identifying Oyeronke’s efforts at advancing the role of women both in Africa and beyond. The work recommends that more work is needed from other scholars to continue in her steps at making the voice of the matriarchs heard in high placesengOyeronke OlademoFeminismAfrican ReligionChristianityMatriarchs230bookpart
