Womanism is a strand of feminist analysis (see feminisms) that looks at the experience of women through the lens of race, particularly African descended women in America. The term was first used in this way by Alice Walker in In Search of Our Mother's Garden: Womanist Prose. It is in some part a critique of white middle-class liberal feminism.
