Secular Womynism Part II: An Epistemology… `It IS… What It Is!'

Abstract

In `Secular Womynism: A View From The Left' , I introduced and articulated a viable alternative approach to the concept known as `Traditional Womanism'. In so doing, the term(s) `Feminist Womynist Philosopher/ Philosophy were born as an epistemological construct. As a further explication of the definition and praxis of the term, I now offer, Secular Womynism: Part II: An Epistemology…It IS… What It IS!'

This article will serve as a more focused prolegomena involving the fiftyeight (58) components of which the term, feminist womynist philosopher is comprised. The aforementioned components constitute the foundation of what will, at some point in the evolution of Womynist Theory, come to be called, `Womynist Ways of Knowing: A Womynist Epistemology', and will serve as the first such concrete claim within the discourse of Womynist thought.
