She is an open bisexual, and sympathetic towards people of all sexualities, ethnicities, and races. She has described how both the African-American men and women have faced oppression in terms of race, class, and ethnicity. The Color Purple has represented the very bottom structure of the society. Walker not only describes the oppression and suffering of black women but also suggests certain solutions for these tribulations in the novel.

This article explores the important feministic issues and analyzes the protagonist, Celie in the novel The Color Purple.
