Abstract

The present article is concerned with the importance of God in the feminist writings, the critiques of the feminist theologians and philosophers in regard to the concept of God in the context of monotheistic religions and their alternative solution to the relation of  God and humans, in the feminist thinkers’ writings such as Mary Daly, Irigaray, Jantzen and Anderson for  this problem. Then  their thoughts and solutions are discussed and the critics of persons like Hollywood, Anderson, Taliaferro, Byrne, Hauke and Coakley will be considered and finally  Motahhari and Allame Javadi Amoli's points of view as  the representatives of the Islamic standpoint about the divine attributes and the place of womanhood  in religion will be highlighted.
