Abstract
Literature has always included depictions of women from different periods and cultures. They frequently portrayed themselves as weaker and less capable than they were. They thought they couldn't make it independently and finish their work without help. He believes that women are beautiful and submissive and incapable of independent thought. The majority of the women in Alice Walker's novel are portrayed as innately disinterested in romantic relationships because they are never allowed to express their emotions. Moreover, they do not know how to celebrate their diminished self-worth. In numerous ways, black women are marginalized, and even within their community, they are underrepresented. Women of African descent who have been socially, physically, and sexually dominated and oppressed strive for independence. Most black women continue to be treated as enslaved people, and they seek a new meaning of the word 'woman.' When black women reached adulthood, their primary body parts were sold as enslaved people to free them. In this paper, efforts are made to subjugate and conceal black women and repress, enslave, and discriminate based on their gender and differences. It examines the historical subjugation of black women and their self-realization, awakening, and eventual self-emancipation. Alice Walker, an African-American author, is participating in a meeting for the liberation of black women. She encourages black women to recognize the bond they share with other women who, throughout history, have paved the way for them by exhibiting an independent and unyielding spirit. This essay's primary objective is to provide solutions to alleviate the suffering experienced by black women.
