#few women

I had very supportive parents that made the way for me, even at a time when there were very few women - no women, really; maybe two or three women - and very few, fewer than that, African-American women heading in this direction, so there were very few people to look up to. You just had to have faith. ↗

I first became interested in women and religion when I was one of the few women doing graduate work in Religious Studies at Yale University in the late 1960's. ↗
