For starters:
Feminists look at male images of God in The Bible and ask what the female images are. Then with those images see new and deeper understandings of who God is for us. Feminists are Christians who see that God is more fully understood by not restricting ourselves to only one gender's social roles and imposing those roles on God.
Womanists deny the validity of the Bible outright, saying it is an ancient, patriarchal, agrarian collection of stories that have no bearing or meaning on 21st century religion. All masculine forms are denied, and the female body and form become the objects of worship. Christ becomes Christa, God is goddess, the Holy Spirit is Sophia, bread and wine are replaced with milk and honey. Womanists have separated themselves from being classified as "Christians."
