I just checked the Wikipedia article on Liberation Theology. Not a woman theologian mentioned. Not a word about the debates in liberation theology about women’s human rights as central to poverty eradication. Not a word about the disciplining of women liberation theologians., Not a woman expert cited or a publication by a woman cited in the references. A totally irrelevant line about an Andrew Greeley novel included. Now, in part, the reason is that men in liberation theology do not think these are important issues and brush them away. And the men in liberation theology hang out together and therefore quote and write about each other. If a woman were adding data and not dismissed by the male “experts”  other information that some segment of society finds important would be included – and would not be considered POV.
