 | | The forth definition, however, seems to claim that womanist is a larger category (a necessary condition) of feminist, as purple, in my understanding, is a color that binds various types of purple, like lavender. |
| | As can be seen in Walker's definition of womanist, the concept of the universal often goes with tradition and inheritance, and I cannot help seeing the same sort of transcendentalism as what black feminists are attacking, i.e., the male, White, Western bourgeois tradition. |
