Uncovers the influence of Yoruba culture on women’s religious
lives and leadership in religions practiced by Yoruba people Women
in Yoruba Religions examines the profound influence of Yoruba
culture in Yoruba religion, Christianity, Islam, and Afro-Diasporic
religions such as Santeria and Candomblé, placing gender relations
in historical and social contexts. While the coming of Christianity
and Islam to Yorubaland has posed significant challenges to Yoruba
gender relations by propagating patriarchal gender roles, the
resources within Yoruba culture have enabled women to contest the
full acceptance of those new norms. Oyeronke Olademo asserts that
Yoruba women attain and wield agency in family and society through
their economic and religious roles, and Yoruba operate within a
system of gender balance, so that neither of the sexes can be
subsumed in the other. Olademo utilizes historical and
phenomenological methods, incorporating impressive data from
interviews and participant-observation, showing how religion is at
the core of Yoruba lived experiences and is intricately bound up in
all sectors of daily life in Yorubaland and abroad in the diaspora.
