ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION THIS CHAPTER CRITICALLY EXAMINES, and offers viable alternative philosophical and experiential discourse concerning, the traditionally accepted and familiar feminist discourses offered by many “white” women/feminists.1 Within the confines of this chapter, I will address the problem of whiteness in feminism in a very specific manner: acknowledgment of the “known” and populist version of feminism; the presentation of womanist discourse from the framework of “otherness”; and, the introduction of a third womanist/feminist voice grounded in the discourse of transformation.
