Here, readers are shocked when s/he will come across the striking purposes and functions of vulgarity and violence while reading the novel.

At the end of the novel, the significance of the title, ‘The Color Purple’, is revealed during the conversation between Shug and Celie. Shug (Mister) says, “Listen, God love everything you love—and a mess of stuff you don’t.

Alice Walker, a poet and activist once said that “a womanist is to feminist as purple is to lavender.” Womanism is just another shade of feminism. It helps give awareness to the experience of black women and other women of color who have always been at the forefront of the feminist movement, but made invisible in historical texts and the media. Although feminism addresses and fights for gender equality, it rarely addressed equality and justice for black women in the civil rights movement. On the other hand, womanism not only fights for the gender equality but for justice against racial oppression against African American men and women.
How well can a director put a book into action as a movie? After reading the book The Color Purple by Alice Walker and watching the movie The Color Purple directed by Steven Spielberg, I was given both sides of the story written and the screen write. Contrasting the two together personally is quite tricky because both the book and the movie were great to take part in. However some events in the book were obviously different when watching the movie.

“All my life I had to fight. I had to fight my daddy. I had to fight my uncles. I had to fight my brothers. A girl child ain't safe in a family of men, but I ain't never thought I'd have to fight in my own house!”
Today studies show that many people still believe that racism is organizations such as the KKK, or people such as Bull Connor. However, that just isn’t the case. Racism can be found on a much smaller scale, but with many people. You don’t see cross-burning or lynching anymore. You don’t see politicians speaking against minorities.

The three women I have decided to write about are the women who are not recognized enough for their actions. Their names have been lost behind their works or overshadowed by white-washed America. The first female African American Feminist I would like to right about is Alice Walker. Walker is a writer who was very active during the civil-rights movement. She protested and fought for not only women, but people of color.
A moving inspirational novel told in letters to portray how life was for African Americans, and especially women is The Color Purple. It is not about purple in no way at all; it is actually a difficult book to tackle, dealing with rape insest, explicit sex, sexism, and violence toward women and a lesbian relationship. Not only does it speak of women, but it tells of how there was a negative depiction of African American men during this time. The novel consists of letters written by the main protagonist, Celie, that she has written to God.
